We are often asked about professional opportunities open to those who major in philosophy. A few go on to do graduate work, with the goal of teaching philosophy at the college-level. However, most majors pursue other goals. Many go to law school, where their philosophical training in analytic thinking serves them very well. Some go into computer programming. In fact, the training philosophy majors get in the analysis of and expression of ideas is useful in many professional areas. Some employers in the business world tell us they are interested in hiring people who do not major in business in college, but who are liberally educated, and who can think, read, write, and express themselves clearly. Philosophical education prepares people well in these respects.
Undergraduate majors and others interested in philosophy have created a thriving Undergraduate Philosophy Club. The club meets regularly throughout the academic year and sponsors talks by undergraduates, faculty and graduate students as well as more informal discussions.
