[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weird trolls trying to force op’s kid into a university confuse me as to why they go on these threads.

OP, I’d seriously look at CMC. [/quote]

NP to this thread. Your anger is irrational and unwarranted as posters are trying to present options to a curious parent.

I, too, would encourage OP's student to consider some National Universities due to the tiny number of students studying philosophy   at each of the listed LACs. Plus, a graduate dept. in philosophy should give OP's son more options and better access & understanding of career paths because of the vastly greater number of philosophy students at elite National Universities.

I visiting the Chicago area, it would be easy for OP's student to visit both U Chicago & Northwestern University and make an appointment with the head of each school's philosophy dept. For one intending to apply ED, there are significant advantages to applying ED at either of U Chicago or Northwestern University. LAC ED1 tends to be dominated by recruited athletes at most of the top rated LACs.

Curious as to why Swarthmore College has not been mentioned in this thread (maybe I missed it if it has been).

OP: Also consider the more practical major of P,P,&E (Politics, Philosophy, & Economics) which is offered at several elite colleges & universities.

OP: Here is a list that ranks (2024) undergraduate philosophy programs in a combined ranking of both National Universities and LACs (highest ranked LAC is Wesleyan University at #34):

what a weird list - esp missing Pitt and Rutgers near top, since they are usually ranked in top spots[/quote]
