Philosophy Minor
The Minor in Philosophy is a course of study that presents the fundamental tools, techniques and preoccupations of philosophy. It is an excellent accompaniment to any major since philosophy maintains close contact with the history of ideas in the broadest sense and it closely examines (and challenges) the very foundations of knowledge and understanding. Students will face the main challenges of ethics, logic, epistemology and metaphysics offered by the minor.
The Minor in Philosophy is especially popular among students pursuing pre-professional degrees such as pre-law and pre-medicine. The Philosophy minor gives students a thorough understanding of the liberal arts, along with an appreciation of their value and relevance. Students completing the Minor in Philosophy will advance in critical and creative thinking, which are the very essence of the practice of philosophy.
The Minor in Philosophy requires completion of 18 credit hours of Philosophy coursework.
