-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics of study drawn from the sub-disciplines of philosophy. Topics will vary according to the instructor and semester offered. Students should check the Class Schedule for listing of actual topics. May be repeated for a total of six (6) units of credit as topics change.
-
1.00 Credits
The Exit Seminar allows students and faculty to reflect on the learning experience of the Philosophy Minor. Students construct a brief portfolio of essays written for coursework in the Minor, and complete a reflective essay discussing their overall experience of the Minor. Students are interviewed by faculty regarding their progress through the Minor, and share their experiences with one another in guided discussions of the Minor curriculum. To be taken in the final semester of coursework for the Minor. Graded Credit/No Credit. Enrollment restricted to students who have obtained consent of Program Director.
-
3.00 Credits
