Students complete an internship
Studying philosophy has made me a better scientist by enhancing my capacity to reflect on and challenge past assumptions made by the field. Having a strong writing background has improved my ability to communicate complex ideas. Being exposed to a variety of philosophical frameworks has also made me a more creative and innovative thinker.
