Studying philosophy as a major provides excellent preparation for advanced graduate work in the field while also serving as a valuable focus within a liberal arts education. This major suits students aiming for medical school and those pursuing professions demanding strong analytical reading and reasoning skills, such as business, theology, and particularly law. For those specifically interested in legal, political, or public policy careers, the Department additionally provides a specialized major in Justice, Political Philosophy, and Law. Though these programs fulfill liberal arts objectives, students considering graduate philosophy studies or legal careers should consult with faculty advisors early in their academic journey.
