B.A. Philosophy

Explore the Nature of Reality, the Scope and Limits of Human Understanding, and the Values and Principles of Moral Reasoning

Philosophy is more than pondering life’s big questions.

Your philosophy degree from Nova Southeastern University gives you the valuable skills you need to get an edge in the career marketplace, where you may pursue a career in fields as diverse as academia, policy work, law, business, advertising, or human resources.
