Majors
are encouraged to have a competence in a foreign language equivalent to
that obtained through the intermediate level of study. Majors also are
urged to develop, in consultation with the adviser, a strong minor
program, or even a second major.
Minor
Requirements
Ethics
Minor [383]
A minor in
ethics consists of six courses (18
credits).
At least four of these must be from among the following:
Philosophy 226, 260, 315, 316, 319, 320, 333, 349, 361, Religion 332, 333, 335,
340, and 349. The remaining two courses may be selected from
elsewhere in the Department of Philosophy and Religion, or from
approved courses with significant ethical content from other
departments such as Sociology, Psychology, and Criminal Justice.
Philosophy
Minor [730]
A minor in
philosophy requires six courses (18
credits), of
which at least two must be at the 300 to 400 level.
Philosophy
and Religion Minor [733]
A minor in
philosophy and religion consists of six courses (18
credits).
Three of these must be in philosophy (730) and three must be in
religion (840). At least two courses must be at or above the 300 level.
Religion
Minor [840]
A minor in
religion consists of six courses (18
credits), of
which at least two must be at the 300 level.
Dual Credit for Courses
Students who are completing both a philosophy major and a religion major, or a major plus a minor (e.g. religion major and philosophy minor, philosophy major and ethics minor, etc.) may count 2 courses toward the requirements of both programs. Thus an ethics class could be counted toward both an ethics minor and a philosophy major. |
