What will it take to graduate?

The Applied Philosophy Program is designed so that students might easily have another major. Mount Mercy College awards a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy, with 30 credits required within the major, to graduate. Of these hours, 21 will be in philosophy and 9 from the applied area of your interest. For most students, this area would be a second major. Want to know what kind of classes you will be taking?
