What Can I Do with a Degree in Philosophy?

Are you wondering about where a degree in philosophy can take you? Are you curious about the marketable skills this degree will grant you in your postgraduate career?

A degree in philosophy sharpens critical thinking skills, develops a capacity for abstract conceptualization, and fine tunes communication skills for persuasive arguments and analysis. Not to mention, students of philosophy also graduate with strengths in synthesizing information and the capability to approach problems with a big picture lens. You will learn to improve your reasoning abilities as you disassemble very complex ideas and theoretical concepts.

Our students gain a well-rounded, liberal arts education, providing the path and skills to explore a variety of careers. Classes such as Ethics, Logic, Social and Political Philosophy, or Aesthetics provide the bedrock for the discovery of newfound interests and passions.

In their post graduate lives, our students become doctors, lawyers, professors, social workers, writers, religious figures, and artists.

Additionally, a large percentage of our students go on to pursue further education, whether that be law school, seminary or divinity school, medical school, different Masters programs in a variety of different fields, or an eventual doctorate in a subject.
