Majoring & Minoring

Southwestern students may major either in Religion or in Philosophy, but may not combine courses in these two areas for a major. A student may minor in either Religion or Philosophy.

Students may choose the paired major between Religion and Feminist Studies, and it is also possible to do a paired major in Philosophy and Feminist Studies by double counting two of the following courses cross-listed in Philosophy and Feminist Studies: Feminist Positions (18-214), Theories of Class (18-244), and Theories of Race (18-254).
