USC’s Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, and Law

USC Dornsife’s interdisciplinary major combines basic education in philosophy, political theory, and elements of law.

The degree is of particular interest to students contemplating post-graduate work in law; those interested in a career in public service or politics; and those attracted by the rigor of philosophy, and its attention to foundational issues, who are also interested in politics and law. Students are exposed to a range of conceptual and methodological approaches, while learning enough philosophy and political science to leave a choice of options for graduate schools
