Course Offerings

The Department offers courses at the 200 and 400 levels.

PL 270 Philosophical Explorations/PL 270C Philosophical Explorations: An introductory course in philosophy which acquaints students with the range of questions and issues raised in both the philosophical tradition and contemporary thought. Engages students in a critical analysis and evaluation of different philosophical positions, including their own.

Note: PL 270C Philosophical Explorations is a course that carries a communication focus in the course assignments and enrollment is limited to students who completed the paired/linked RCC 200 First Year Writing course in the fall semester.

Note: Enrollment in PL 270H Honors Philosophical Explorations is limited to students in the Regis College Honors Program.

400-level courses: Each of these courses are for Philosophy majors and minors, for students in the Honors Program, for students seeking an academic challenge, or for those who have a strong interest in the topic of the course. The 400-level courses work with challenging texts and concepts, introduce students to philosophical research, and require the completion of more extended writing assignments.
