Aja Watkins
Philosophy and Mathematics, BS
2017
Aja originally chose to study philosophy and mathematics as a way to engage with a wide range of coursework, but she was surprised to learn that these two disciplines overlapped quite a bit. In order to prepare for law school, she added a minor in Law and Public Policy. Studying three unique fields helped her realize the importance of interdisciplinary thinking to solve practical and theoretical problems. Aja graduated in December 2017 with a B.S. in Philosophy and Mathematics.

“The more philosophy and math courses I took, the more I realized how much these disciplines have in common. Luckily, I was able to use many of the mathematical tools I was learning when answering philosophical questions – and I was also able to apply a philosophical frame of mind to my math coursework.”
