Bachelor in Philosophy
Philosophy is the only discipline that investigates everything. It is also the only discipline that challenges everything, including itself. This is what distinguishes philosophy from the sciences, history, literature, and the arts. Although philosophy and these other disciplines share some of the same goals—like scientists, philosophers want to uncover the nature of reality; like historians, philosophers want to understand where we come from; and like artists, philosophers want to stimulate novel questions about human experience—philosophy alone aims to see how these disciplines are connected and to understand what makes them possible. This makes the study of philosophy uniquely valuable: while the major is an especially good fit for students interested in careers in law, consulting, education, or community organizing, it also helps you develop and apply skills in critical thinking, persuasive writing, ethical reasoning, and complex problem-solving that prepare you to excel in any field
