What can you do with a philosophy degree?
A philosophy major does much more than prepare you to get a job. Philosophy majors think deeply about what is important in life. They enter the workforce with a strong sense of who they are and what matters to them, so they find careers that help them make a difference. The skills you develop as a philosophy major are in demand. Employers are looking for people who can read carefully, think critically, and find new solutions to problems. AI has only increased the demand for philosophy majors. Centenary philosophy majors made careers as lawyers, doctors, travel writers, business leaders, accountants, community leaders, human resource officers, government advisors, medical researchers, and actors. Majors have found that what they learned in philosophy prepared them to help elderly parents navigate the healthcare system, raise children, mobilize the community to protect the most vulnerable, and more. Philosophy is, and has always been, the study of how to live a life well.
