What is the Freedom Center?

The Freedom Center at the University of Arizona is all about exploring big ideas—like what it means to live in a free society, how ethics shape our choices, and how people throughout history have fought for freedom.

Through cool programs, events, and classes, we dive into philosophy, politics, economics, and law to help you think critically, speak confidently, and lead boldly. Whether you dream of launching a business, making change, or just want to ask the big questions—this is your place to start. Learn more about our mission and other K – 12 programs!
