- The study of Philosophy helps students to develop their capacity to understand, criticize and construct arguments, to analyze and solve problems, and to elaborate their ideas and present them in a clear, coherent, and well-organized form.
- The undergraduate education that students receive in philosophy prepares them well for any career involving critical thinking, analysis, and constructive problem-solving. Philosophy majors, in general, tend to register higher scores on objective tests such as the GRE and LSAT. They often go on to careers in law, business (sales, marketing, human resources, management), medicine, teaching (K-12 and college), research (both in academia and in the private sector), government and non-profit organizations.
