PHILOSOPHY


Philosophy majors study the big questions: Why are we here? What is our place in the natural world? What are the important ethical questions of our times? If you have a natural curiosity and sense of wonder, philosophy might be the right major for you.  Average earnings for philosophy majors are about $38,200 per year.

A philosophy major teaches you to analyze text, frame a persuasive argument, and think critically—all important job-market skills.  An online bachelor’s degree in philosophy  will prepare you for a variety of careers, including: 
  • Lawyer
  • Chaplain
  • Doctor
  • Business ethics consultant
