About the Program

Why Major in Philosophy, Law, and Ethics?
Whether you are interested in a career in law or want to become a leader in your organization and community, pursuing a degree in Philosophy, Law, and Ethics provides a pathway to success. 
The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Law, and Ethics (PLE) program is a selective interdisciplinary major with a core of philosophy courses designed to prepare students for law school, graduate school, and a range of leadership positions in the public and private sectors. Students will find a highly flexible and transfer-friendly curriculum that can be adapted to the interests of each student. The program includes government and history courses and an area of concentration outside of philosophy. Through the student-designed concentration, the PLE program is particularly well-suited for students interested in entering The University of Baltimore School of Law through the Early Entry Law School Program. 
The PLE program provides options for community college transfers, high school graduates, and those returning to school after years in the workforce. 
What You'll Study
Through rigorous philosophy coursework, you will strengthen your essential leadership skills, including critical and analytical thinking, effective writing, problem-solving, decision-making, and oral communication. PLE majors study great works of philosophy and social science, and debate and write about important local, national, and global controversies. As a PLE major, you’ll benefit greatly from dynamic classroom interactions, personalized advising, and co-curricular activities sponsored by the University’s Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics. The major requirements are designed to broaden your exposure to and engagement with ideas, policy debates and important topics in public, personal, and professional life.

  • Philosophy, Sustainability and the Environment Concentration
  • Applied Ethics and Professional Life Concentration
