Overview

This Philosophy B.A./B.S program from Kansas State University focuses on evaluating reasons and arguments about nearly every aspect of life: morality, knowledge, politics, science, law and religion. Philosophers may ask, "What is freedom?", or, "What are the moral foundations of law?" The answers they give to these questions help guide legislators, judges, doctors and scientists.

Philosophy trains students to use analytic methods to assess arguments, factual claims, and value choices, and teaches students to write clearly about the results in ways that advance careers and influence how others think.

Career opportunities:

Philosophy trains students to think both critically and imaginatively about topics that intersect ethics, law and policy. As a result, the study of philosophy confers a breadth of knowledge and develops reasoning and writing skills.

An undergraduate degree in philosophy is excellent preparation for post-graduate degrees such as law, medicine, business and ministry. Related careers include:

Arbitrator
Diplomat
Market researcher
Research analyst
Software engineer
