Prepare for Law School

Learn how to construct, present, and challenge arguments. A philosophy major teaches students to think and write like a lawyer. On average, Philosophy graduates outperform all other majors on the law exam (LSAT) and commonly rank among the highest scores.

Psychology Research

Our professors are actively engaged in research. Students can engage in the research process alongside professors investigating topics such as:

  • Understanding and assisting children with developmental learning disorders
  • Using eye-tracking technology to study human attention
  • Examining minority students’ sense of belonging and its tie to academic success

We encourage our students to not only work alongside our professors on research, but to pursue their own inspirations and create new knowledge in the field as part of independent study.
