36 credit hours
The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with an interdisciplinary emphasis prepares students to engage in occupations that encourage or require critical reading, writing, and communication skills. It prepares students for graduate training in fields such as law, business and medicine due to the extremely high scores of philosophy majors on graduate exams. It also enhances students’ understanding of their own fields by addressing fundamental questions not covered elsewhere. Given philosophy’s central role in a humanistic education, it also prepares students for life as well-rounded individuals and citizens of a global community.
