Philosophy Minor


Return to Academic Programs Return to: Academic Programs

Students interested in Philosophy may choose to pursue a minor either to supplement the work in their majors or to fulfill the requirements for a related area within their majors. The minor in Philosophy requires that students complete a total of 18 credits, three of which may be used to fulfill the Philosophical Tradition (PT) requirement for General Education.

Requirements: 6 courses (18 credits)


Complete six three-credit philosophy courses. The selection of courses must include one course from each of the three categories shown below. Some classes from the history category also appear in the metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science category. Students can choose which category to place them in, but the same course cannot be used to satisfy more than one category. In addition, two of the six courses chosen for the minor must be upper-level courses. Upper-level PHIL courses are those with numbers above 1000 except for PHIL 1380- Business Ethics .

Total Credits: 18


In addition to the courses listed above, the following courses also count toward the minor: PHIL 1890  (upper division) and PHIL 1901  (upper division).

Each course in the Philosophy minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
