The BA in Philosophy at Eastern University provides opportunities for collaborative philosophical inquiry on the fundamental questions of existence within the context of historical and orthodox Christian faith. Philosophy trains you to be able to do anything; it opens the world to you. As you become trained in writing, speaking, research, and logic, you become trained to do anything you want. As a result, philosophy majors go on to immediate work in teaching, business, and the non-profit sector, or to graduate school in philosophy, literature, economics, mathematics, the ministry, law, and business. Plus, you become a free human being—no small thing in itself. We’re not alone in thinking that you will be able to find work.
