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 business, management, policy analysis, real estate, legal fields, 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 pre-law and pre-med students. Clemson's Ethics Bowl team maintains one of the nation's most impressive competitive debate records in public policy discussions.
