Overview

The online and on campus Philosophy degree programs at Fort Hays State University prepare you to take advantage of and be adaptable to a variety of challenging, stimulating work environments. You will acquire the scholarly skills, presentation abilities and personal leadership qualities that will always be in demand:

Advanced critical thinking
Creative problem solving
Facility discussing moral, aesthetic, and religious values
Appreciation for similarities and differences between perspectives and cultures
Skill in stating your views, verbally and in writing

Careers

Because Philosophy connects insights from multiple disciplines, it's rarely matched by other majors in its ability to teach you to think critically. And best of all, this heightened skill in creative, critical thinking (the ability to stand back from a situation, idea, or belief and genuinely evaluate it) is easily parlayed into career agility.

With a Philosophy degree, you can have a successful, rewarding career in

Local, State and Federal Government
Healthcare
Business
Finance
Social Work
Education
Law
Public Administration
Public Relations
Fundraising and Non-Profit Work
Writing/Journalism

and dozens of other fields. In other words, with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, you're more likely find yourself set on a path towards continued growth no matter what career you choose...or how often you choose to change it!
