The 29th annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference will be held May 2 and May 3, 2025 in Morris Hall. The keynote speaker for the conference will be announced soon. We were honored and excited to have Dr. Sara Uckelman of the University of Durham, England deliver the Distinguished Keynote Address, Fiction Writing as Philosophical Methodology at the 28th annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference in 2024.
About the Department
The Philosophy Department plays a vital role in the SUNY Oneonta community. A diverse and distinguished faculty teach a wide range of courses, providing a solid foundation in both Eastern and Western philosophy. We offer a baccalaureate major with two concentrations: Liberal Arts and Applied Philosophy, and a flexible, liberal arts minor. The major combines well with other fields to form a powerful dual major. It is a particularly good choice for those who may be contemplating business, law, or medical school.
Our Philosophy students receive a lot of one-on-one attention. We sponsor an energetic Philosophy Club and host an Undergraduate Philosophy Conference that attracts students from institutions throughout North America.
