The minor in Philosophy provides students with an understanding of the principles, methods, and areas of application of contemporary philosophy. This minor combines a traditional philosophy curriculum with an emphasis on interdisciplinary linkages. Because of this, students are expected to be able to use their training in philosophy to complement their other coursework and to identify connections between various areas of study. Students in the minor are required to complete five Philosophy courses. The Philosophy minor was proposed in 2006 and produced its first graduates in 2007. In Fall 2019, there were 28 minors.
