Philosophy Minor

Philosophical training helps students to reason well, make thoughtful distinctions, and analyze difficult and abstract ideas. Philosophy prizes clear thinking, rational judgment, and careful arguments-all in the pursuit of truth.

A minor in philosophy is ideally suited to complement students studying psychology, business, ministry, theology, engineering, leadership, nursing, and education, among many other fields. Students are required to take an ethics course that trains students in the core concepts of ethical thinking as well as a course in the history of philosophy that exposes students to the history of ideas that have shaped our world.
