Logic, reasoning, ethics: what's more practical than a nimble brain?

Jobs change and industries evolve, but the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills you’ll gain by studying philosophy at USF will satisfy both sides of your brain and apply to a whole range of fields. Come challenge your classmates, your professors, and yourself to question everything, to tackle complex issues, and to think — and then think again.

Why Philosophy at USF?

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.”
