Philosophy Minor

(15 credits)

The philosophy minor provides students with an awareness of critical thinking, an appreciation of ethical reasoning, and the power of logical analysis. Students will explore logic, the study of correct or valid reasoning, ethics, the study of morality and value, aesthetics, the study of the nature of beauty and art, epistemology, the study of knowledge; and metaphysics. The study of philosophy prepares students for continuing education in law, theology, the humanities, journalism, research, management, and a variety of graduate programs.
