Double Majors for Philosophy Majors

Philosophy majors are trained to be critical thinkers, to have a high level of moral awareness and to be proficient oral and written communicators—skills that are highly prized by prospective employers. Philosophy graduates can be found working as lawyers, teachers, diplomats, researchers, social workers, entrepreneurs and high-level members of nonprofit and governmental organizations. For students not wishing to pursue a graduate degree in Philosophy, the department strongly encourages a Double Major, pairing Philosophy with a bachelor’s degree in such disciplines as Art, Business, Criminal Justice, English, History and Political Science, Modern Languages or Sociology.
