The study of philosophy engages students in living the examined life and in developing intellectual abilities important for life as a whole beyond the knowledge and skills required for any particular profession. It supports graduate studies in philosophy as well as certain professions, like law, the ministry, and government service. Philosophy also \u00a0complements other interests, such as literature, political science, sociology, and education. It develops the analytical, critical, and interpretive capacities needed to pursue other disciplines and to engage with life in general. It develops discipline and motivation to confront problems for which there are no easy answers. A strong education in philosophy thus enhances the human capacity to respond wisely and prudently to the challenges of personal, professional, and public life.<\/p>\n<p>Trinity&#8217;s mission as a Catholic university committed to the empowerment of women and to the advancement of social justice calls for an in-depth analysis of the ways in which philosophical ideas both contribute to and militate against the human flourishing of people of all genders, races, classes, and ethnic groups. The Philosophy Program offers the opportunity for such analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The Philosophy Program supports Trinity&#8217;s general education curriculum with its emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of human knowledge. The courses offered emphasize the foundational assumptions of the traditional disciplines and examine the ways in which these assumptions are interrelated.<\/p>\n<p>The Philosophy Program also supports \u00a0the College&#8217;s majors and allows for students to construct an individualized or interdisciplinary major.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Minor_Requirements\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"requirements\"><\/a> Minor Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p>The minor requires the completion of ANY six philosophy courses (18 credits).<\/p>\n<span id=\"Program_Policies\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"policies\"><\/a>\u00a0Program Policies<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>CLEP Policy:<\/strong><br \/>\nCredits earned through CLEP examinations do not fulfill requirements of the philosophy minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grades in Minor Courses:<\/strong><br \/>\nStudents are required to earn a grade of &#8216;C&#8217; (2.0) or better in all courses counted to fulfill requirements for the minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pass\/No Pass:<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the exception of practica and internships, courses fulfilling minor requirements may not be taken pass\/no pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Study Abroad:<\/strong><br \/>\nStudents may meet minor requirements with courses taken during their study abroad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL Policy:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Philosophy Program supports and encourages the College&#8217;s TELL Policy.
