Philosophy Minor The minor program is designed to complement the majors of other departments. It is designed also for those who, while not wishing to specialize in philosophy, nonetheless seek to pursue enduring questions, appraise contemporary values, and discuss critically topics of human concern. (If you wish to use this program as an academic minor, check with your department for permission and with the Philosophy department for sample programs.) The 24 quarter hours which are required for a minor in philosophy are to be distributed as follows: History sequence: three courses: 293 Ancient Philosophy, and either 294 Medieval Philosophy or 295 Early Modern Philosophy, and either 296 Kant and the 19^th Century or 297 20^th Century Philosophy. Figures and Texts: one course. Philosophical Themes: one course. The remaining course may be taken from any of those offered at the undergraduate level in philosophy by the department, except 100 Philosophy and Its Issues. With permission, a student may take the Capstone Seminar for Philosophy Majors as part of his or her minor. Transfer credit may be recognized. (Please note that 100 Philosophy and Its Issues is the prerequisite for all 300-level philosophy courses; it is also the prerequisite for all 200 level cognitive skills courses as well as the 200 level history sequence.)
