Minor in Philosophy and Applied Ethics

The Minor in Philosophy and Applied Ethics exposes students to the discipline of philosophy, including its unique methods and broad scope which includes the sub-disciplines of logic, epistemology, metaphysics, aesthetics (including art and music), history of philosophy, and ethics.
