Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-2\">Philosophy teaches you how to think. \u201cI already know how to think!\u201d you say. You\u2019re right\u2014to a degree. But to thrive in our anxious, tangled world, you need to think at a whole new level, which you learn in philosophy courses.<br><br>Philosophy is both a subject and a method. It emphasizes analytical skills, including logical thinking, careful reading, and clear writing.&nbsp; The focus on developing these skills, coupled with philosophy\u2019s connections with many other disciplines, makes studying it an excellent preparation for graduate work in a variety of fields. If you prefer to seek a job after graduation, employers across the career spectrum highly value the skills you learn in philosophy, too. Just a few of these skills include how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Think critically and analytically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Express yourself effectively in writing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assess and integrate information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a case using evidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover solutions to problems based on a broad perspective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-2\">While teaching valuable career skills, philosophy also explores fundamental questions about human beings and our place in the world. For example:<br><br>How do we define reality? Is the definition fixed or fluid? Or: What evidence is there that God exists? How about evidence for life after death?<br><br>You only need 33 credits to complete the philosophy major-related requirements. This makes philosophy an especially appealing choice if you want to double major or you\u2019ve already earned many credits and want to finish a degree.<br><br>Only a small percentage of philosophy majors pursue a career in teaching philosophy. Instead, they pursue careers in business, communications, education, health care, information technology, law, public policy, and a host of other fields. The bottom line: Wherever you want to go with your life, a philosophy degree will help you get there.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-4 pr-5\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"p-2\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c645e628e62f8fbab9d9726851472d16\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-primary-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><br>Buzz recently opened his own law practice, The Plan Firm, and helps people with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and giving legal help to families after a disability or death.
