Introduction
Philosophy is a systematic reflection on the basic questions which have piqued human curiosity for centuries: where we come from, what we ought to do, what we may hope for, and who we really are. Philosophy is a part of being human, and so it’s practical and relevant to everyone.
Explore these questions, hone critical thinking skills, and push the frontiers of human understanding as a philosophy major at Spring Hill College.

Program Outcome
This program will educate students on various topics that require deep thought and reflection while also teaching and sharpening their critical thinking skills. Our bachelor’s in philosophy allows students to grow academically, spiritually, and ethically all at the same time.
- Students who study only one narrow set of skills, especially skills that computers or robots also possess, are in danger of losing their jobs to automation. You should ensure that you build a flexible foundation of vital intellectual skills.
- Philosophy majors score at or near the top in all post-graduate exams and admission rates to professional schools, such as graduate school, law school, medical school, and business school.
- Philosophy makes the world better. The return to society on investment for a philosophy major is similar to that of an engineering major.
- And—believe it or not—philosophers are well-paid too!
