Philosophy, Minor

Program Overview

Philosophy is the perfect supplement to any major. Studying philosophy helps you develop skills in critical thinking, persuasive reasoning, and the understanding of complex texts—skills indispensable to both individuals and employers. We will teach you to think in new ways about big questions: “What does it mean to live a good life?” “Can we change our relationship with the natural world?”  “How might technology and artificial intelligence transform what it means to be human?”
