The philosophy minor provides students with skills that facilitate success in their professional, private, and communal lives by equipping them to act wisely in a wide variety of environments and circumstances. These skills include being more thoughtful and reflective, thinking more critically, analyzing and appraising their own and other people's beliefs and values, communicating more effectively, reasoning and arguing more authoritatively, being open to similarities, differences, and alternative perspectives, and creatively solving a wide variety of problems. At least nine credits of the minor must come from upper-level courses (i.e. courses numbered 3XX or 4XX)
No student may declare a minor in the same discipline as their major, therefore, a Philosophy major may not declare a Philosophy minor.
