Curriculum Checksheet

Requirement Minimum Grade Credit Hours

The minor in philosophy consists of 15 credit hours, of which at least nine must be upper division. At least six upper-division credit hours must be in courses offered by The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. When selecting courses, the college offering the course can be identified by viewing the course details in Class Search. Each course must be completed with a minimum grade of "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) or higher.

Students choose courses from the philosophical subdiscipline lists, with no more than two courses from any single track. Available subdisciplines are epistemology, ethics and political philosophy, history of philosophy, logic and metaphysics. Courses in the "other" list cover multiple subdisciplines and students may apply these courses within the minor without limit. Students should consult with an academic advisor in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies about a proposed selection of courses before enrolling.
