Why study Philosophy?

Provocative. Enlightening. Meaningful.

Philosophy is the foundation of civilization. No religion, government, or personal viewpoint has ever existed without a philosophical framework. Today the study of philosophy continues to play an important role in helping shape the future of human existence and enhances your professional opportunities. Philosophy improves your skills in reading, critical thinking, communicating, and presenting effective arguments in a variety of professional settings. With ethics standards making national headlines and a hot topic in boardrooms throughout the country, companies are eager to hire graduates who bring that knowledge and understanding to the workplace.

Many of our philosophy students use it as a cornerstone for a career in medicine or law. At ETSU you can incorporate religious studies into your philosophy major if you are passionate about the ministry. The call to teach is also an important career opportunity. Philosophy is not a limiting major, instead it is a door to many opportunities in business, medicine, government, education, and religion. At ETSU you’ll be prepared for life.
