Students can choose between the standard philosophy major curriculum, the law, liberty and justice specialization, or the medicine, health and human values concentration.
Philosophy students collaborate with faculty on independent research projects, exploring subjects like media's impact on belief systems, legal theories of statutory interpretation, and ethical considerations in epigenetics. Graduates pursue diverse careers in fields such as business, management, policy analysis, real estate, law, and healthcare.
The program also provides excellent preparation for advanced studies in humanities, social sciences, and other fields. Philosophy graduates consistently achieve top scores on professional school entrance exams, making our program particularly strong for law and medical school preparation. Clemson's Ethics Bowl team maintains one of the nation's most impressive competitive debate records in public policy discussions.

Qualification Requirements
If you are a first-year student and you would like to submit test scores, request your test scores be sent from The College Board or ACT. This step is not required for transfer students.
Clemson has adopted a test-optional policy. Applicants are not required to submit a standardized test score to be considered for admission to Clemson.
If you choose that test scores should be used, your scores must be submitted electronically by the respective testing agency. Clemson's institutional code for SAT is 5111, and the code for ACT is 3842. Clemson super-scores both the SAT and the ACT. For the SAT, this means that the overall total SAT score will then be derived by taking the highest of the evidence-based reading and writing/math scores.
For the ACT, this means that we consider a student's highest ACT section (or subtest) scores regardless of test date. The super composite ACT score is calculated as the average of the best ACT English, Reading, Math, and Science subject scores.
Clemson University requires first-year applicants to self-report their high school transcripts. Students who are admitted to Clemson will be required to send official transcripts prior to enrollment. After submitting your application, a link to the SRAR system will be available in your Clemson admissions portal.
The most important factor considered in making an admission decision for first-year applicants is high school performance. We use GPA, class rank and the rigor of the classes you took based on the curriculum provided at your high school. Most applicants have competitive GPAs and present transcripts with college preparatory, honors and AP/IB coursework based on what is offered by their high school.
