Support Philosophy

Your gift to the Philosophy Program makes an immediate positive impact on educational opportunities for students and the university.

Your support directly funds:

  • Undergraduate Scholarships – Make a degree in philosophy more accessible for deserving students.
  • Philosophical Forum Speaker Series – Every semester, the Philosophy Program invites the university community to a presentation or panel. Your donation helps bring distinguished philosophers to campus.
  • Undergraduate Travel to Conferences – Support students as they present research papers, gain professional experience, and showcase their work at regional and national conferences.
  • Online Texts and Resources – Help expand access to modern academic resources by funding subscriptions to online philosophy texts, encyclopedias, and digital journal collections.
  • Field Trips and Classroom Resources – Unique experiential learning opportunities—like the Aesthetics class visit to the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh—are made possible through donor contributions, along with key multimedia classroom tools.
  • Faculty Research and Teaching Development – Empower our faculty to maintain excellence in the classroom and advance published scholarship by funding attendance at academic conferences and professional workshops.
