Philosophy, B.A.
College of Arts and Sciences
Philosophy asks the big questions and helps students to think independently, reason analytically and argue persuasively.
Every profession needs people who can communicate effectively and solve problems creatively — particularly fields like law, medicine and business. Philosophy majors also typically outperform other majors on the GRE, LSAT and GMAT, making this an ideal major for those pursuing a graduate or professional degree.
