Welcome to the Department of Philosophy!

At Spring Hill College, all students take at least three philosophy courses, but many take more.  Why?  Because philosophy is awesome, that’s why.  But also because more and more people are realizing that an undergraduate degree in the humanities, and particularly in philosophy, is one of the most valuable degrees to have.  And in case you’re wondering, it’s not (just) humanities professors who are saying this; as Catherine Rampell has recently written, scientists are themselves are arguing that the skills humanities studies cultivate will be essential to getting the best jobs.

For more on why YOU should be a philosophy major or double major (yes, you can major in philosophy AND something else! – it’s very easy!), check out the link above.
