Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy-Psychology

SUNY Oswego

A major in philosophy is an excellent selection for students interested in many sorts of careers including law, religion, politics and counseling. Some of our recent graduates in philosophy are now successful lawyers. Others are enrolled in Law schools and Divinity schools. Many kinds of graduate degree programs are highly receptive to applicants with undergraduate degrees in philosophy. Examples of such graduate programs are: business, economics psychology, social work, counseling, journalism, and public administration.Specific courses in philosophy will also strengthen the education of those majoring in natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, history, literature, art and computer science. If a student takes a number of philosophy courses to satisfy General Education requirements, taking only a few more philosophy courses will result in one’s having achieved a major in philosophy. This means that philosophy makes an ideal second major, and a readily achievable minor.
