      A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree that combines focus in a particular subject with selected liberal arts classes. The goal is to prepare you for a career and provide you with a well-rounded education.

      What is a BA in Philosophy? The study of problems concerning existence, knowledge, reason, language and values is philosophy. Some focuses within philosophy include politics, psychology and the humanities. A BA in Philosophy includes some basic courses, such as mathematics, science and history. You may also take more specialized courses, such as logic and paradoxes, how to argue and ethics. Some courses may also look at the writings of influential philosophers, including Kierkegaard and Plato.

      Some skills you may gain while studying philosophy include critical thinking, problem-solving and organization. When you combine critical thinking and problem-solving, you can more easily tackle common issues in life. With organization, you may be able to save time or create a calming living environment.
