Why Study This Program?
A Philosophy degree from MU will provide students with a strong grounding in the history of philosophy as well as training in philosophical analysis and writing. Such training is one of the best ways to develop critical thinking and communicative skills applicable to many professional fields.
While some philosophy majors go on to graduate studies in philosophy itself, the major is also excellent preparation for a wide variety of life and career paths, including law, theology, business, cognitive science, literary professions, politics and public advocacy.
