About the Program
The minor in Philosophy gives students the skills to analyze complex issues, communicate clearly and accurately, and think logically. It helps prepare students for a variety of careers, especially in law, public policy, nonprofits, writing, etc.
This minor is a very flexible program designed to enhance a number of possible majors, including those that focus on writing, historical knowledge, and/or textual interpretation, including Anthropology, English, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, or Gender Studies. Given that it hones critical thinking skills, this minor also compliments majors that do not focus on writing and/or textual interpretation, such as majors in STEM or professional degrees.
With the minor in Philosophy, students will also meet General Studies requirements for Arts and Humanities and Oral Communication.
This program can be taken online, hybrid, or in person.
