The Minor in
philosophy requires the completion of 20 units (5 4-credit courses) in philosophy. Students
minoring in philosophy will automatically satisfy their Core Curriculum
Philosophy and Ethics requirements.
Students typically declare a Minor in Philosophy after having taken a Core D1 Philosophy or Core D3 Ethics course. However, it is not necessary to enroll in any 100- or 200- level courses in Philosophy, and students interested in declaring a Philosophy Minor should:
- Enroll in PHIL 310 - Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, to satisfy their Core D1 Philosophy requirement.
- Enroll in PHIL 315 - Ethics for Majors, to satisfy their Core D3 Ethics requirement
