Minor in Philosophy

18 credit hours required. Closed to Philosophy majors.

Program is currently being revised. Please see contact person for more information.

The  philosophy minor permits students majoring in other disciplines to (1) pursue in a systematic way their personal interests and concerns with philosophical questions, or (2) deepen their understanding of their discipline in regard to its philosophical foundations, its methodology, and its normative assumptions and implications through an integrated course of study tailored to their major program.

All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:
