Philosophy

Majoring & Minoring

We've got both. For a major, you only need 9 courses. So it's easy to do a double major. You'll have plenty of choices. You'll be able to pursue your own interests. Ask the philosophy majors and they'll tell you -- it's wonderful!

Friedrich Nietzsche: "What I understand by 'philosopher': A terrible explosive in the presence of which everything is in danger."

For a minor, you'd take 5 courses. Again, lots of choices. Even if you're a double major, you can do a philosophy minor too.

Hypatia of Alexandria: "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."
