PHILOSOPHY MINOR

Philosophy teaches us to thoroughly examine all our beliefs, to see how they are grounded and fit together. By studying and discussing how others have applied themselves to the great questions of life - from science to ethics, from politics to religion - we can re-evaluate our own beliefs and rethink our priorities.

Since philosophy uses the tools of “critical thinking” - analysis and synthesis, pulling apart and putting together - the Philosophy minor is particularly recommended for pre-law students. And since philosophy examines the basis of faith and delves deeply into the methods used by great thinkers of the past, it is also highly recommended for students majoring in religion and the humanities.
