PHILOSOPHY
Advisor: Ken Nickel
18 credits
A Philosophy minor has significant value, particularly in the
context of Christian liberal arts and sciences. The study of
philosophy helps students to probe beyond the obvious, to
recognize presuppositions, and to analyze assumptions.
Because of its emphasis on rational argumentation and
logical precision, philosophy also helps develop a student’s
thinking and writing skills - necessary skills for success
whatever the student’s degree program. A minor in
Philosophy is an excellent complement for majors in
English, History, and Christian Studies, and is also valuable
to students considering careers in law, business, ministry,
and other fields of social service.
