Career Outlook

A philosophy B.A. provides excellent preparation for many different careers.
While a few philosophy students go on to a Ph.D. and a career in teaching,
most put their degrees to other uses. An undergraduate philosophy major is
an ideal choice for students interested in law school.  It also provides
excellent preparation for medical school, business school, and other professional
degree programs. Recent statistics compiled by the American Philosophical
Association show that undergraduate philosophy majors scored better than any
other group on the verbal section of the GRE; their combined scores were among
the highest overall.

For students unsure of their career goals, majoring in philosophy helps them
develop verbal and analytical skills that will position them well in today's
rapidly changing workplace. Completing a philosophy major also equips
students with a basic curiosity that can enhance all aspects of their lives.
