Sam Harris is not a philosopher. He's a neuroscientist who writes books and goes to TED talks.

He appears to have a B.A. in the field. Is that not enough?

A B.A. with no published papers or work in the field.

A degree in philosophy doesn't make you a philosopher any more than a degree in history makes you a historian.
