Even in analytic departments, Kant and Plato are discussed heavily. Take it from someone who got a philosophy degree from UCLA…a school that is as analytic as it gets(Just look up “UCLA department of Philosophy on Wikipedia”). But 19th and 20th century philosophers from France and Germany are generally ignored for the most part, as most of them were “continental” philosophers.
As for you, OP, there’s nothing wrong with choosing UCSD. I imagine that their philosophy of science classes are amazing given UCSD’s inclination towards the sciences in general. And UCSD’s philosophy department is most likely well rounded in ethics and other vital areas as well. And it is super analytic.
Berkeley is also analytic, of course, but it does tend to offer more continental philosophy courses. Not sure if you want that.
Both schools offer courses that concern present-day issues, though. Such is the nature of philosophy. At least, as I think of it anyway.
