The Philosophy Minor is designed to supplement a student’s primary course of study by enabling them to think critically and competently about a wide range of philosophical issues and problems. Minors will be prepared to enter a number of diverse fields, including education and social work.
It is quite possible to achieve a minor in philosophy in addition to a student’s primary major, and it can helpfully augment a number of different disciplines. If you have questions, or want to discuss possibilities, please feel free to stop by or get in touch!
