Philosophy, literally the "love of wisdom," leads us to ask questions about ourselves, our world, and what may lie beyond. In pursuing these questions, students enhance their abilities in analysis, self-reflection, argumentation and communication. Students of philosophy have many options after graduation; philosophy is excellent training for careers in law, politics, and business. Philosophy majors tend to score higher on standardized tests such as the LSAT, GRE and GMAT, and employers often seek philosophy majors because of their analytic skills and problem solving abilities. According to the London Times, philosophy is "the ultimate transferable work skill" (August 15, 1998). The philosophy faculty at Wofford is excited to be part of the fastest-growing department in the college, and it looks forward to meeting the increase in number and diversity of philosophy majors with an increase in diversity of course offerings and activities.
