The minor in Philosophy and Religion invites dedicated students to develop their analytical and research skills in the related fields of philosophy and religion. In addition to serving a student’s particular intellectual interests, the study of philosophy and religion provides an essential connection between the arts and the liberal arts. Actors, directors, filmmakers, animators, dancers, musicians, and graphic or industrial designers with an understanding of philosophy and religion give themselves a deep and wide intellectual foundation for their artistic endeavors.
All minor programs are governed by the Undergraduate Minors/Concentrations policy published on the enrollment & registration page in the policies area of the catalogue.

Students may apply to enter the minor after successfully completing a course in either Philosophy or Religion. To fulfill the minor, students take two required introductory courses in the respective fields (LAPR 811, Topics in the History of Philosophy, and LAPR 832, World Religions) plus three other Philosophy and/or Religion courses in any combination.
Students may withdraw from the minor – or be asked to withdraw – at any time without penalty. Completed courses will then be counted as Liberal Arts electives or as free electives.
