Philosophy Minor

Coordinator: Karen Hoffman

The philosophy minor offers theoretical and applied courses that examine the arguments and ideas that shape our thinking about our identities, our values and our responsibilities to ourselves, to others and to our larger world. The analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills that the minor cultivates, as well as its many connections to other academic disciplines, make the minor useful for students in a variety of majors.
