Description
Philosophy represents the broad human desire to question and to know. A major in philosophy offers students the opportunity to explore the history of ideas and the ways in which humans have sought to understand, analyze, and craft better understandings and ethical paths for action. As a major prepares students for a wide range of professional career options. The key focus in a philosophy major is critical reading, thinking, writing-all vital skills in the workplace and in life. For example, philosophy majors often go into fields as diverse as business, technical writing, and information technology. Many graduate professional programs (medicine and law) welcome majors from philosophy.
