The Philosophy Minor

Philosophy minors must take at least six courses offered by the department. These must include PHIL 100 (Introduction to Philosophy) and at least two courses numbered 300 or higher. No more than two courses at the 100 level may be included in the required six. (PHIL 478, 479, and 501 do not normally count toward the satisfaction of the 300-level or higher minor course requirements.)

Students will be assigned advisors upon notifying the Philosophy Department that they will be minoring in philosophy. Each student's advisor will recommend course sequencing at intermediate and advanced levels suitable to the student's needs and major program. For example, students majoring in political science may be advised to take courses relating to social and political philosophy, while students majoring in English or concentrating in linguistics may be advised to take logic before proceeding to intermediate and advanced courses.
