Department of Philosophy

Academic departments anchor a university’s intellectual life. The Department of Philosophy at Columbia University is one such hub, where discrete questions intersect with centuries of debate. Inside Millbank Hall, a building recognized by its address at 3009 Broadway, the department organizes courses in ethics, logic, metaphysics, and epistemology. Graduate seminars convene each term to examine texts from Immanuel Kant to modern skeptics, while undergraduate lectures introduce students to moral reasoning and the philosophy of mind.

Millbank Hall Room 326 hosts the office, accessible at 3009 Broadway New York, NY 10027. Across the semester, faculty offices occupy adjacent suites, giving students access to supervision outside scheduled classes. The building sits within Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus, a short walk from 116th Street on the 1 train. Events such as conferences on existentialism and invited lectures from visiting scholars take place on site, drawing participants from across the city.

Contact details remain concise and direct. Call 212-854-4689 for program inquiries or appointment requests. The voice on the line connects callers to academic coordinators rather than general voicemail queues. During peak registration weeks, the phone line sees heavier traffic as students seek overrides for foundational courses.
