Why Study Philosophy?
Philosophy courses strengthen your abilities to think, speak, and write critically, analytically, and creatively.
By strengthening these skills, philosophy can prepare you for many career paths, including positions in law, politics, business, journalism, bioethics, environmental policy, the tech industry, education and more. Philosophy majors and minors often excel in advanced standardized tests such as the GRE, LSAT and GMAT, which improves the chance of getting into top graduate programs and law schools.
