The study of philosophy helps develop our critical and analytical capacities, our ability to understand what we read, and our ability to argue and persuade. It helps us understand, appreciate, and respect other points of view. It reinforces respect for truth and love of learning. It enhances flexibility in thinking, imagination, and intellectual creativity, and nourishes the sense of wonder and the passion for wisdom. It increases sensitivity to moral issues and provides intellectual tools for thinking constructively about them. Career Opportunities The Philosophy major prepares students for any career that requires or values the abilities to think rigorously, critically, and creatively; to communicate effectively orally and in writing; to comprehend what one reads; to analyze information and to appreciate the limits of reliability and degrees of uncertainty; and to work effectively with others while respecting people with different points of view and from different cultural traditions. Most employers prize these abilities. In addition, almost every public and private institution, such as hospitals, social service agencies, corporations, and government departments, face complex ethical issues. People who have studied philosophy are in a particularly good position to help these institutions clarify the issues they face and make reasonable decisions.

The major in Philosophy can also prepare highly motivated students for graduate study in philosophy.
