Majoring in Philosophy

The Major

For those seeking a career in philosophy, teaching at the university level is an attractive but highly competitive option.  There is also an emerging demand for expert in applied ethics, especially in the areas of medical ethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics.  If you plan to go to seminary, the Philosophy major is an excellent choice.  A solid foundation for law school also can be built by this major, since the skill it take to prepare good briefs and successfully argue cases are similar to those developed in Philosophy courses.

 

Double Majors

Philosophy combines well with a variety of disciplines, including political science, psychology, literature, physics, and classics.  Clarity of analysis, cogency of reasoning and development of valid generalizations will enhance your study of other majors such as management or economics, which aim toward a specific career.
