You'll be well-versed in classical philosophical thinking on age-old questions, like does God exist? We're one of few universities to connect that kind of thinking to contemporary issues. We were the first university in the nation with a philosophy class on HBO's "The Wire." You'll also study love and desire, hip hop and other contemporary topics from a philosophical standpoint.

Even more than thought-provoking classes and great job opportunities, studying philosophy will help you understand yourself and lead a full and satisfying life.

You'll learn to analyze, write, persuade and examine both sides of an argument?allowing you to approach your life critically while improving yourself and the world around you.

These skills apply and translate to virtually?every career, including?law,?medicine?and?business.

graduates have the highest acceptance rate among humanities majors into medical school, outscore all other students on the LSATs, GMAT and GREs, and have one of the fastest salary growth rates. The most successful mutual funds in the country are run by philosophy graduates.

Our graduates?go on to study?philosophy, law, environmental law, medicine and more. They work as lawyers, teachers, hedge fund managers, public relations experts, paralegals and IT professionals. We even have a graduate at TEDx!
