Philosophy is a traditional major preparing students for law school. As a Philosophy Major in UWG's Law, Justice, and Society track, you will pursue skills that the American Bar Association values as essential: problem solving, critical reading and thinking, research, writing, oral communication and listening, and promoting justice.

Compared to most majors, Philosophy students excel on the LSAT—the law school entry examination—and are accepted to law school at higher rates, according to data analyzed by the American Philosophical Society.
