A minor in philosophy serves the mission of Saint Xavier University by offering classes directly related to the core values of our institution and its students. Coursework and faculty research advocate critical thinking, thoughtful engagement with historical and current questions about the common good, practical skills in writing, reading and information literacy, as well as dedication to the spirit of life-long learning.
The minor in philosophy consists of 18 credit hours, 6 of which may be fulfilled by the general education requirement in PHIL 140/150 and an additional PHIL course as a humanities elective. Minors may fulfill the requirements by successfully completing any 4 or more additional courses from those offered by the program.
