Supplementary Major in Philosophy (B.A.)
The Supplementary Major in Philosophy focuses on the fundamental questions about reality, morality, and human existence. The diversity and balance of preparation provided by this Supplementary Major in Philosophy complements and extends a student’s primary major within a Liberal Arts and Sciences education. The Supplementary major has a required core of 12 semester hours and an additional 15 hours either in the Applied Ethics Track or Great Ideas Track. [Note: A supplementary major is not intended as a qualifying major for an undergraduate degree, but is offered in combination with a student’s primary major. Successful completion of the Supplementary Major requirements will be noted on the student’s academic transcript, though not on his or her diploma.]
