What can I do with a degree in philosophy?
A major in philosophy will prepare you for almost any professional pursuit you may choose, including careers in business, law, science, health care, education, the media, and nonprofit organizations.
“My exposure to the courses and professors in Clark’s Philosophy department undoubtedly sparked my interest in becoming an attorney. I am confident that my time spent engaging with the Philosophy department has shaped me into the person and student am I today as I begin my first year at Harvard Law School.”

“Studying philosophy alongside my psychology major at Clark University strengthened my ability to approach ideas from multiple perspectives with depth and self-reflection. With the guidance of my professors, especially Professor Ravi Sharma, I learned to carry forward our thoughtful class discussions into my clinical practice and personal development as a mental health therapist.”
