Philosophy offers a concentration, as well as an Honors concentration, leading to a senior thesis, for qualified upper-class students. The Department offers a minor with a choice of "streams" in General Philosophy, History of Philosophy, Moral and Political Philosophy, Mind and Meaning, Epistemology and Philosophy of Science. Minors take at least 15 credits in philosophy.

Philosophy concentrators and minors, as well as other students enrolled in philosophy courses, enjoy a range of informal activities with faculty and fellow students. These include the Undergraduate Philosophy Club and undergraduate journal, Meteorite. The Department also helps to defray the cost of travel for students who have papers accepted at external undergraduate conferences. The Department sponsors an active program of guest speakers, often of interest to advanced undergraduates. Each year, a Marshall M. Weinberg Distinguished Visiting Professor joins the Department for one term, offering one undergraduate course. An e-mail group notifies concentrators, minors, and other interested students of activities and special events.  

The Department is housed in Angell Hall. Many of its advanced undergraduate seminars and courses meet in Philosophy's own classroom or seminar room; most all advanced courses meet in the Angell-Mason complex. Students in Philosophy often study in the Department's pleasant Tanner Philosophy Library in conjunction with advanced courses. The Philosophy Commons Room is also available to undergraduates many hours during the week. 

Prospective and current concentrators and minors are advised that selected intermediate-level courses are intended as bridges to more advanced offerings at the 400-level. The bridge courses fall into four categories:

• History of Philosophy: 388 (History of Ancient) and 389 (Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century)
• Logic: 303 (Symbolic Logic)
• Mind and Reality: 345 (Language and Mind) and 383 (Knowledge and Reality)
• Value Theory: 361 (Ethics) and 366 (Political Philosophy)
