UW-Eau Claire philosophy advantages

Philosophy

The faculty of the department of philosophy and religious studies is of a high caliber. It includes professors who graduated from Cambridge, Iowa, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Syracuse, Minnesota, Northwestern and Marquette Universities.
The advanced courses in the department are small and personable, between 20 and 25 students, providing many opportunities for one-on-one learning.
The department has a Philosophy Club, a student organization that meets during the semester and sponsors a number of talks and presentations by students and faculty.
Introductory-level and advanced students have the opportunity to publish articles in the department's journal, Prism.
Students can gain credit(s) in apprenticeship courses within the department, the most popular being the teaching apprenticeship courses. They also can work as student interns assisting in a high school class in philosophy taught at Eau Claire Memorial High School.
UW-Eau Claire classes, unlike those at many other public universities, are not taught by teaching assistants. Students work alongside interesting professors who inspire learning.
