Whatever your major, philosophy has connections to virtually every discipline. The communication, critical-thinking, analysis and organizational skills you acquire will serve you well in any profession.
All philosophy minors must complete a minimum of 21 credits toward the minor, with at least 12 units at the upper level. Choose courses that cover broad topics from philosophy of law and feminist philosophy to courses that cover different periods in civilization or diverse cultures worldwide.
