Earning your philosophy degree can open career doors for you in a wide variety of settings, including everything from education, ministry, medicine, law and business - to government, criminal justice, public relations and technical writing.

Plus, a study by the Educational Resources Information Center demonstrated that philosophy majors consistently scored higher than other majors on graduate school admission tests.

A Minor in Philosophy is also available and pairs well with any of our academic majors.
