Philosophy majors outperform all other majors in verbal and logical reasoning tests. Recent research concludes, it's not just that already bright students are attracted to the disciplines; instead, it's the study of philosophy itself that makes them better thinkers. We don't prepare our students for something; we help them prepare themselves for anything. And in a world where people are increasingly turning to AI to do their thinking for them, business leaders are recognizing the value of the creative, critical thinkers emerging from philosophy programs.
Your gift to the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department program fund will help increase our competitive student scholarships and provide travel funds so that our majors can present their original research at conferences. Help us to help the next generation of thought leaders.
