Careers

USF philosophy students excel in many fields including law, education, social action, and business. Each year, a few students continue on for graduate studies in philosophy, and some have gone on to a PhD. All of them acquire vision and perspective that give them an edge in every endeavor.

Small classes, large discussions

For me, philosophy is mentally stimulating. It makes me think in new ways. At USF, classes are small. We have a lot of discussion. We challenge each other. I love everything about it."
