Alumni and Careers
The study of philosophy develops many skills that have wide application, including the ability to think logically, to formulate and evaluate arguments, and to write clearly.
A small number of philosophy majors go on to do graduate work in philosophy. However, most of our majors go on to careers outside academia.
