Students may, but are not required to, apply at most one non-philosophy course toward the elective component of the ethics minor. Students may petition philosophy program coordinator to apply a course with substantive ethics content that is not on this list toward the elective component. Double dipping of this course with major is permitted.
Note: Students pursuing the Philosophy Major may not count any course used in satisfying the requirements of that major toward the Minor in Ethics or the traditional Minor in Philosophy. Additionally, a student may not count the same course toward both minors.
