  Important Notes:

  • The Department recommends that students considering a minor consult with an advisor in the Philosophy Department when choosing upper division Philosophy elective courses. Through the use of directed readings (limit one per minor) and advanced topics in Philosophy courses, the Philosophy Department can help students design minors that best complement their particular major and/or interests.
  • Students seeking a Philosophy minor are encouraged to take more than the 18 hours required.
  • PHL 1000 is a prerequisite for all other Philosophy courses except for PHL 1400, PHL 1500 and PHL 2500; these are logic courses which may be taken without prior coursework in Philosophy.
  • For a list of PHL 3000+ level Philosophy courses, see our list of courses.
  • Please contact a member of the Philosophy Department for advising in the minor.
