Philosophy/Humanities
Through interdisciplinary study, students develop an awareness and understanding of the major events and ideas that have shaped the civilization in which they live.
Philosophy-Humanities Major
People have always had questions about the world in which they live. Whether these questions are about truth, beauty, and goodness, or about whether life has any meaning, people find questions to ask. Over the centuries, many minds have addressed these questions. By means of dialogue, intuition, logic, and critical thought, philosophers have created pathways to wisdom and an understanding of the human condition.
North Dakota State University offers students a Philosophy curriculum that may be approached either as a Philosophy-Humanities major or minor.
The Philosophy-Humanities major consists of 32 semester credits. Of these, 21 credits must be taken from the required courses. Eleven elective credits, which can be independent studies, complete the major. Each degree has additional university and College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences requirements that must be fulfilled.
Philosophy-Humanities Minor
The Philosophy-Humanities minor consists of 21 semester credits: the minor required courses plus six elective credits from the elective philosophy courses, including independent studies.
