Overview

Features

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Philosophy - Pre-Law from Wichita State University helps students prepare for law school and a variety of other careers that include roles in adjudication, compliance, policy making and promoting social justice.

Coursework is concentrated in four areas of study: analytical reasoning, ethics, political and social philosophy, and philosophy of law. Together these courses provide both a rich theoretical context for understanding the aims and methods of law, normative systems, and action guidance, as well as written and verbal practice developing argumentation and advocacy skills.

Curriculum

To complete the philosophy major, you'll take a minimum of 27 credit hours in philosophy, 15 of which must be in courses numbered 300 and above. Your departmental advisor will help you choose courses that fit your academic interests and career goals.

Concentrations in philosophy, such as the concentration in pre-law, can be earned whether philosophy is your first or second major. As a double major, a BA in philosophy with a pre-law concentration enriches and adds distinction to many other degrees such as psychology, communication, pre-med, business and engineering.

Careers

Thanks to WSU's extensive network of employer connections, students in every major have opportunities to gain real-world experience in diverse areas—helping them build a resume, make professional connections and land their dream jobs.
