CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN
PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION

An education in philosophy and religion will not ensure a graduate of employment, nor, on the other hand, is it any less marketable than any other liberal arts degree. Persons trained in philosophy and religion have found employment in such diverse fields as business, education, publishing, editing, information analysis (in both private and governmental agencies), and computer technology. However, philosophy and religion are some of the best preprofessional programs for law, medicine, the ministry, or graduate study in philosophy or religious studies or an allied discipline. The student contemplating a professional career should seriously consider philosophy as a preprofessional major.

The master's program in philosophy provides a strong preprofessional background for law, the ministry, or doctoral study in philosophy in philosophy itself or in a related discipline. The master's program will provide the requisite training for those desiring to teach philosophy at the junior college level.
