Studying philosophy is excellent preparation for any area in which the ability to think logically and clearly and the ability to express such thinking concisely is useful. Philosophy serves as a good undergraduate major for someone wanting to go on to law school or to do graduate work in the social sciences and humanities. As a group, philosophy majors score very well on the Graduate Records Exam and the Law School Admissions Test. Of course, the degree is also excellent preparation for those who want to do graduate work in philosophy.
