Undergraduate Advising

What can I do with a Philosophy B.A.?
Many companies hire philosophy majors because they are interested in people who can think critically, write well, and communicate their ideas with clarity. The study of philosophy sharpens these marketable and transferable skills. Career possibilities lie in journalism, law, public administration, education, public service, not-for-profits, and graduate and professional schools.

A degree in philosophy prepares you for your next step - whatever it might be. Our rigorous and rewarding curriculum will introduce you to methods of thinking about the timeless questions of truth, beauty, perception, and justice. Analyzing questions such as 'What is reality?', 'Who am I?' and 'What is good?' facilitates analytical and problem solving skills while building a solid liberal arts background.

What can I do with a Religion B.A.?
