PROFESSOR SHANNON SULLIVAN, Head of the Department

Many students find that their studies in their major field can be profitably supplemented by pursuing their studies in Philosophy. The Philosophy minor is designed for students who desire a significant background in Philosophy while majoring in a different field. Students from many disciplines pursue Philosophy minors, including English, History, Physics, Mathematics, Management Studies, and so on. Declaring a minor in Philosophy will allow you to continue your Philosophy studies throughout your degree, and you will receive a certificate in Philosophy when you graduate.

A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.
