Minor Requirements

36 credits in Philosophy, including:

  • 18 credits, with 6 credits from each of the following category-clusters. The classes that fulfill this requirement must each contribute 2 points toward the relevant category.
    • Traditions OR Continental Philosophy (at least 2 points from one class)
    • Value Theory OR Social and Political Theory (at least 2 points from one class)
    • Language, Epistemolgy, Metaphysics, Mind OR Logic and Formal Reasoning (at least 2 points from one class)
  • 6 credits at the advanced (300) level 
  • 12 additional credits. 

Due to the relatively minimal requirements for getting the minor, we will not accept courses from outside the department to the minor. This applies to courses taught by philosophy department members in other departments. The course must be coded PHIL.
