Minors in Philosophy

A minor in philosophy is a great way to supplement your plan of study. The study of philosophy produces critical thinkers, readers, and writers. Consider adding a minor in philosophy to develop your ability to understand conceptually complex issues, analyze issues critically, interpret and synthesize diverse theories, and express yourself well. If you are interested in delving deeper into the study of philosophy, you may instead want to consider a major in philosophy.
