Undergraduate philosophy journals
|
There are a number of philosophy journals that specialize in publishing articles by undergraduate students. If you have a paper that you really like, submitting it can give you a good opportunity to polish a piece of your work, and (if it gets accepted) something nice to put on your resume/post-grad applications, as well as ego gratification.

I've found seven journals that specialize in undergraduate articles. They are:
-
Aporia, which is put out yearly by the philosophy dept. at BYU.
-
The Dualist, put out yearly by the philosophy dept. at Stanford.
-
Stoa, put out twice a year by the Center for Philosophical Education at Santa Barbara City College.
-
Prolegomena, an on-line journal put out twice yearly by the University of British Columbia. Deadline for the next issue is Dec. 31.
- Episteme, put out yearly by Denison University. the deadline for the next issue is Feb. 1.
- The Interlocutor, an on-line journal put out yearly by the University of the South.
- Discourse, an Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy published by undergraduate students at the University of San Francisco.
More journals specializing in student publications, both graduate and undergraduate, can be found at
Episteme Links.
There is a much more extensive listing of undergraduate journals, conferences, and essay contests at Earlham College, but much of the information is outdated, or the links are broken.
Many of the journals ask that you use the MLA (Modern Language Association) Citation Format. A summary of that format can be found here.
Feel free to see any of us in the philosophy discipline if you'd like to talk about submitting a paper to one of these journals, or if you're wondering whether something you've written might be suitable.
