Philosophy, Minor

This is the first version of the 2026–27 General Catalog. Please check back regularly for changes. The final edition and the historical PDF will be published during the fall semester.

The undergraduate minor in philosophy requires a minimum of 15 s.h. in philosophy courses, including at least 9 s.h. in courses numbered 2000 or above. At least 12 s.h. for the minor must be taken at the University of Iowa. Students must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and in all UI courses for the minor. Coursework in the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass. CLAS minors may only be earned concurrent with or subsequent to earning a University of Iowa bachelor's degree. They cannot be granted as standalone credentials or as the sole program of study completed at the University of Iowa.

See Courses in this section of the catalog for a complete listing of philosophy courses.
