Introduction

Those choosing Philosophy as their Major Field of concentration are reminded that an appropriate competence in the Field can only be the result of a suitable selection of courses within the major areas of Philosophy. In particular, the Department feels strongly that a student well trained in the Field should have a familiarity with contemporary analytical procedures, with the foundations of formal logic and with at least some of the major classical figures of Western Philosophy.

Admission

Students considering Philosophy as a possible Major Field are recommended to begin with Philosophy 201 or 249 or one of 301, 303, 305 (upper-year students).

Students majoring in Philosophy should ensure that they seek departmental advice before each registration. Since many philosophical problems have their origins in other non-philosophical disciplines, students should seek advice not only about which philosophy courses to take but also about which non-philosophy courses might most benefit them. Advice may be obtained from members of the Departmental Undergraduate Committee.

See 3.1 Admissions and other requirements under 3.5 Graduation.

Requirements

A major in Philosophy will consist of at least 8 full-course equivalents and at most 10 full-course equivalents in Philosophy. Except with the written permission of the Department, students majoring in Philosophy must fulfill the following requirements:

1. One of Philosophy 279 or 377.
2. 5.0 FCEs in Philosophy at the 400 or 500-level
3. 2.5 additional FCEs in Philosophy

Note: students must choose their courses carefully at the 200 and 300-level to ensure that they have the prerequisites for entry to the 400 and 500-level courses.

Credit by Special Assessment

Students seeking credit by special assessment should consult the Department regarding courses available for credit in this manner.
