Requirements
Overview
Thirty-six hours in philosophy, including Philosophy 110 (Introduction to Logic), Philosophy 250 and 251 (History of Western Philosophy I and II), Philosophy 490 (Senior Seminar), and at least five other courses. Of the five elective courses,
(1) at least two must be courses at the 300 level or above, and
(2) no more than one may be a course at the 100 level (in addition to Philosophy 110).
Students doing honors in philosophy are not required to take Philosophy 490. No course for the major may be taken S/U. Both Philosophy 100 and Philosophy 110 are recommended to first-year students who are considering a major in philosophy. All majors are strongly advised to take the required courses (Philosophy 110, 250, and 251) as early as possible and in advance of enrolling in any 300- or 400-level courses.
