哲学在商业中的作用: The Unexpected Way Philosophy Majors Are Changing the World of Business, by Carolyn Gregoire, The Huffington Post

Even a magazine devoted to people studying psychology published an article that philosophy is a great major for getting great jobs!

And don't just take it from professors on campus! 哲学是一门伟大的专业 spells out all the reasons to become a lover of wisdom right now!

Even the 福布斯杂志社论版 thinks philosophy majors are well worth it!

And here's a 著名哲学家海报 to hang on your wall--unless you'd rather just read a long list of famous philosophy majors.

对所有这些说法持怀疑态度? Excellent! 你已经准备好成为哲学专业的学生了! And don't trust us just because we said all this. Ask St. 爱德华心理学教授 Alan Swinkels，英语教授(兼律师) Drew Loewe, French professor (and Department Chair) Philippe Seminet大学研究教授 Cory Lock副总裁 Admission Tracy Manier if their B.A. degrees in philosophy prepared them for life and work. They're bound to tell you it really helped them prepare for careers and more.

你们的哲学系是 only one on campus where each and every faculty member won the university's Distinguished Teaching Award: viz., Mark Cherry in 2003, Peter Wake in 2010, and Jack Musselman in 2018.

四位职业顾问 职业和专业发展 office (Moody Hall 134, phone 512-448-8530) can help you find an internship that works for you! 作为一名哲学专业的学生，你的技能——1.e. critical and analytical reasoning to provide clear and compelling arguments--are in demand by non-profits, 营利机构和政府雇主. So, go to Moody Hall 134 and talk to a career counselor to get an internship. After that, go talk to your philosophy faculty about how that internship can become a philosophy course under their supervision.

Juniors and seniors majoring in either Philosophy or 宗教及神学研究 may receive the Lillian Cervenka Scholarship and Arthur Kinsella Scholarship.
