How do I declare a Major or Minor in Philosophy?
You do not need a special appointment with an Advisor to declare, although of course you may find such an appointment helpful. If you've read and understand the relevant requirements - whether for the Philosophy Major, the Philosophy Minor, or the Cognitive Science Minor - you are ready to declare. You may get the needed form from the Philosophy Department receptionist (during normal business hours) and fill it out in a matter of minutes. If you would like an appointment with an advisor, contact the Undergraduate Advisor.
Acceptance into the program for an Honors Degree in Philosophy requires a bit more work. For full information, go to the Honors Degree page.

What can I do with a degree in Philosophy?
The simple answer is: "anything you want." Philosophy underlies nearly every other discipline in the University, and provides a solid foundation for success in the job market and proficiency in other academic disciplines. Check out what The Guardian had to say about the increasing demand for Philosophy Students in this article titled, "I Think Therefore I Earn".
