This is both because philosophy touches on so many subjects and, especially, because many of its methods are usable in any field. Philosophy graduates pursue many careers, such as teaching, law, medicine, city management, news reporting, business, and sales.

Each philosophy major must meet with a departmental adviser at least once a semester to plan or review a program of study. These programs are designed in terms of the individual student’s interests and future plans. Up to 12 hours of philosophy courses taken before the decision to major in philosophy may count toward a major. Additional hours may be counted with the adviser’s consent. Minor 15 hours of philosophy courses, selected in consultation with a department adviser, that orient students to the philosophic aspects of their major fields.
