Philosophy
A major in philosophy serves not only as preparation for further graduate study in philosophy but also as an area of concentration in a liberal arts program.
A Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy provides students with the skills necessary for careers in multiple fields, including:
• Law (Lawyer, paralegal)
• Medicine (MD, DO, medical ethics)
• Business (Consultants, analysts)
• Technology (AI ethics)
• Education (Professor, school counselor)
• Writing (Journalists, technical writing)
• Theology (Clergy, chaplain)
Students interested in law may also want to consider the Justice, Political Philosophy, and Law major offered by the philosophy department.
Philosophy majors frequently score higher than all other humanities majors on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
