Philosophy Major (BA)


Philosophy asks fundamental questions such as: What is truly real? How should we live our lives, and how should we organize our society? What counts as truth and knowledge, and who decides?

Students in philosophy develop the skills of critical analysis and communication that will enable them to develop and support their own answers to these questions, and to draw connections to fundamental questions in other disciplines such as medical ethics, law, and education. 

Studying philosophy prepares students for any profession in which analytical thinking, clear communication, and attention to fundamental questions are important, including law, medicine, journalism, and government service.
