Bachelor of Arts - Philosophy

Philosophy is a discipline with ancient roots and endless applications in the rapidly evolving world. As philosophy majors at Rollins College, students will explore the ideas of history’s greatest thinkers—from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes and Nietzsche—and engage enduring questions about existence, knowledge, truth, and ethics.

Along the way, students will learn to apply logic, challenge assumptions, and examine what’s beneath the surface. Students will develop the ability to reason effectively, communicate persuasively, and think critically, creatively, and ethically. And while reflecting on big questions, they will gain self-awareness and empathy that enrich their lives.

Philosophy is an ideal springboard for graduate programs and professional schools as well as a wide range of careers in everything from law and public policy to business and banking.
