Program Description

Studying philosophy allows us to reflect on some of the most important questions in human life: What makes our lives worth living? What are our moral responsibilities? What makes us who we are? What do we know and how do we know it? In the philosophy minor, we use philosophical texts, theories, and concepts to analyze questions of ethics, justice, and applied, real-world problems.
