Philosophy continues to be one of the smartest routes to enter graduate school. Philosophy majors earn among the highest average scores on the LSAT, the GRE, and the GMAT—and get accepted to a diversity of graduate programs, including law school and business school. They work in fields that make an impact in our society, such as legislature, public and civil law, business administration, private firms, and higher education teaching and research. Here are just a few pathways open to our graduates:
- B.A. Philosophy + M.B.A. = Executive
- B.A. Philosophy + M.A.T. = Educator/Administrator
- B.A. Philosophy + M.Div. = Pastor/Theologian
- B.A. Philosophy + J.D. = Attorney
- B.A. Philosophy + M.S.W. = Therapist

Philosophy classes at UWG are small to allow for engaging discussion. You will be able to interact closely with fellow students and experienced faculty, who have published on various issues from across the spectrum of philosophy. Our majors get to know each other well and have a strong community both inside and outside the classroom. We are excited to meet you!
