Philosophy Minor

The Philosophy minor at ESU is an excellent complement to students interested in careers involving diverse communities, law, leadership, religion, or writing. Our philosophy minors in recent years have also gone on to successful careers in fields related to the natural sciences. With a course of study that emphasizes critical thinking and writing, dialogue and debate skills, and leadership in diverse communities, our philosophy minor is a fit for any student interested in furthering these abilities.
