Marietta College

What you'll study

Students take courses that cover four central branches of philosophy: logic, aesthetics, ethics, and metaphysics/epistemology. The curriculum exposes students to both analytic and continental approaches through faculty with different training backgrounds. Classes are discussion-centered and small, and the Philosophy Club supplements coursework with informal debate on a wide range of topics.

Entry requirements

The program is offered as a minor within the History, Philosophy & Religion Department. Specific course prerequisites or enrollment steps for the minor are not listed on the source page; interested students should consult the department or degree audit for precise requirements.

Career prospects

Philosophy coursework cultivates strong analytical and reasoning skills valued in law, education, government, and business. Nationwide, philosophy majors historically perform well on the LSAT, and Marietta graduates from the program go on to advanced study in law, philosophy, and psychology.

Scholarships & funding angle
