BA in Philosophy

The study of philosophy, perhaps more than any other discipline, develops abilities to think and communicate clearly, critically, and creatively. These abilities are essential to managing your life well. They also are in great demand in any profession. Because the skills are highly transferable, the Philosophy program prepares a student for nearly any area of work: law, business, public service, publishing, medicine, ministry, or teaching. The study of philosophy is a great complement for majors in other disciplines.
