Philosophy

The Minor

Minors in Philosophy must take at least six Philosophy courses. The following courses are required:

  • PHIL 155 Ancient Greek Philosophy

  • PHIL 250 Rationalism and Empiricism

  • PHIL 350 Kant

  • One elective Philosophy course: Any Philosophy course, elementary or advanced in addition to those already required for the Minor.

  • Two upper-level elective Philosophy courses chosen from courses numbered above 300 except PHIL 350 already required for the Minor.

THE ETHICS REQUIREMENT

This is also a content requirement, not a course requirement. Students are required to take one course that focuses on ethics. Many of our seminars and many other courses meet this requirement. The Department decides each semester which specific courses fulfill this requirement.
