CSUN Philosophy Minor Requirements
The curriculum for the Philosophy Minor is both sufficiently light and flexible to complement any major degree conferred at a university. The courses for the minor are good preparation for a professional degree in medicine, law, business, or a unique journey off the beaten track. Many of our courses are online, making them accessible for a busy schedule.
