The Philosophy major is designed to enable students to think critically and competently about all of the various issues within, and areas of, philosophy. Majors will be well-situated to go into business, politics, journalism, activism, law, medicine, seminary, and/or graduate studies in a range of fields.
It is quite possible to do philosophy as a second major, and it pairs well with a number of other fields. If you have questions, or want to discuss possibilities, please feel free to stop by or get in touch!
