Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Philosophy] From Bridgewater State University

The department offers a BA in Philosophy, with the option of concentrating in Applied Ethics. In addition, we offer a philosophy minor. Students in our programs develop heightened reasoning and analytical abilities, creative problem-solving skills, improved writing skills, and greater confidence in spoken argument and discussion. They also become well-acquainted with the concepts and ideas that have shaped the history of our world.

In some cases, philosophy majors pursue graduate study in the subject and become academics. However, they are more likely to find a career in law, medicine, business, journalism, public policy or government. Overall, the study of philosophy provides rigorous yet flexible career preparation.
