If the ability to analyze complex issues, to read, think, and communicate articulately are important to your chosen profession, then philosophy can help you achieve your professional goals. Many business and government leaders have degrees or strong backgrounds in philosophy. Philosophy is a traditional route to the study of law, and more philosophy majors enter the legal profession than any other career. In addition, people trained in philosophy are consultants and counselors in matters of medical, legal, business, and journalistic ethics. If graduate study and teaching are your desire, you will be interested to know that the university has placed philosophy majors in first-rate graduate schools, and that one of these former students now has a position at Stanford University in California.
Philosophers study the impact of technology on our lives.
Philosophy can be very practical indeed.
