Choosing one of these minors will add a complementary credential to students in any GV major program by providing them with a thorough grounding in philosophical thinking about ethics and value. Students can choose courses tailored to their specific area of study. A grounding in philosophical thinking, especially thinking about ethics and value, is of significant personal, practical, and professional value to students pursuing many different major programs.
Students from all majors can elect one and only one of these minors. A minimum of 18 credits are required for any of the minors. Two courses are required courses in each of the minors, PHI 102 and PHI 460. Additionally, the student must select 4 electives (12 credits) two of which must be upper division courses (300 or 400 level).
