Career Guidance

Students pursuing the Logic and Computation major develop exactly those skills that are most important for careers in fields like technology, business, and law:

• Technical skills: Students obtain a firm grounding in logic, computer programming, and statistics.
• Conceptual and analytic skills: In writing their theses, students address and analyze difficult real-world problems. In doing so, they are required to determine the relevant conceptual issues and features of the problem, decide which analytic methods can effectively be applied, and then carry out the analysis in a detailed and rigorous manner.
• Communication skills: As with any philosophy major, emphasis is placed on the effective oral and written communication of arguments and ideas. At the end of their senior year, students engage in a workshop that further polishes their skills in writing and presentation.
