The value of an Arts and Sciences education at URI

 
“Study of philosophy helped mold my values and critical thinking skills, promoting an ability to work with clients in a variety of situations and settings.”

Our Mission

We aim to provide undergraduate majors with a superb education in Philosophy that will provide a solid basis for post-graduate study or professional life; to make a significant contribution to URI’s General Education program; to foster interdepartmental and intercollegiate collaboration by engaging in interdisciplinary teaching and research projects; and to encourage outreach by faculty to the extramural community as public intellectuals.
