One cannot conclude that a major in philosophy will prepare one better for these tests than most other majors. The kind of student who will both choose a philosophy major and take these exams is probably, independently of his or her studies in philosophy, a successful and intellectually motivated student. Philosophy majors with practical career interests in other fields have not been disadvantaged by their choice of major, and many have been helped by it. When no seminars or other meetings are being held there, this room is available to students for quiet study. The Philosophy Department sponsors lectures and presentations throughout the year, including a colloquium series and an annual graduate student conference.
All meetings are open to the public, and undergraduate philosophy students are encouraged to attend.
