A minor is a good choice for any student who has a genuine interest in Philosophy but who simply do not have the time or inclination to follow the more rigorous program of studies required for the major. It is especially appealing to students interested in fundamental human concerns as well as those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the methodological issues in their own discipline. Students planning to complete the requirements for this minor must make all arrangements with the Philosophy Department, 160 Fitzelle, 607.436.2456.
