Majors & Minors

The Philosophy Major (BA)

The Philosophy Minor

Study every major era of philosophical thought — ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary — plus ethics, logic, and metaphysics. Rooted in PC’s Catholic and Dominican tradition, the major pairs naturally with a second major or minor in any field. Whether you’re heading to law school, medicine, graduate study, or business, philosophy gives you the foundational skills to think and act well.

Customize your minor with courses in ethics, logic, metaphysics, or the history of ideas. Choose from any of our courses and any of the faculty who inspire you. Flexible enough to complement any major — from biology to business.

Ethics & Society Minor

Examine moral questions at the heart of personal, professional, and public life — justice, leadership, community, law, and the common good. Open to students from all majors.
