The philosophy major at UIndy is designed to help you think through questions about meaning and morality, explore the history of philosophy, and examine the role of ethics in a modern context. Under our accomplished faculty, you will explore some of the toughest questions to face societies throughout history: What is truth? Is there a God? How do we define what is "good� Courses in the history of philosophy (including Aristotle and Medieval Philosophy) introduce students to the great thinkers of the past. Basic ethics courses (such as Ethics or Christian Ethics) invite students to consider greater topics related to philosophy. Focused special topics and independent study courses (like Existence of God or Business Ethics) give upper-level students the chance to go beyond the questions and begin developing solutions to real-world problems. Potential careers with a philosophy degree: According to recent data, philosophy majors are more likely to score well on graduate school entrance exams than any other humanities major. Thanks to the skills philosophy majors gain in civil discourse, rational thinking, research and communication, they typically make more money throughout their careers than other majors, and are well suited to a variety of fields. Law school: Many of our alumni have had great success in law school. Philosophy majors score higher on the LSATs than any other undergraduate major, and are prepared to engage in the kind of debate required in a courtroom setting. Graduate school: Our majors have done very well in graduate programs in psychology, philosophy, education and more. Whatever your ultimate career goals, a philosophy undergraduate degree will give you the foundation for academic success in the future. Public administration: UIndy's focus on service and leadership often manifests in our philosophy majors going on to work in public administration and other service-related fields. Social work: Social workers must have the ability to see complex situations from many competing points of view and communicate clearly and effectively. Many of our majors have gained those skills and gone on to successful careers in social work.
