Suggested Pre-Law Track for Philosophy Majors
For many people, philosophy is the most exciting of all academic subjects. But many students do not have the luxury of being able to study it in college. They believe they must major in business, or engineering, or some other major closely related to the work they plan to do. Pre-law students, on the other hand, not only are free to major in philosophy but, in important ways, it is the most practical of all majors for their careers.
