Philosophy________________________________________________________________ Minor Sheet Whatever your major, a minor in Philosophy will help you imagine your own life‘s path more thoughtfully and carefully. Philosophical epistemology encourages scientists to explore the implications and limits of their knowledge. Philosophical ethics helps educators, outdoor leaders and conservation law officers consider the moral ramifications of their work with the public. Philosophy fosters skills and dispositions to complement any course of study, so people with philosophical training often advance quickly on the job because of critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and inter-personal skills.
