You'll even get to put these skills into practice during co-op terms. After graduation, diverse career paths await. Philosophy provides exceptional preparation for law and proves equally valuable for any profession requiring broad perspective, attentive reading, rigorous evaluation, and persuasive reasoning. The undergraduate curriculum covers all major philosophical traditions while focusing on specialized areas including linguistics, logic and metaphysics, philosophy of mind and cognitive science, ethics and political theory, plus philosophy of science and mathematics.
