Those choosing Philosophy as their Major Field of concentration should be aware that an appropriate competence in the Field requires 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.

It is recommended that students considering Philosophy as a possible Major Field begin with Philosophy 201 or 249. Upper-year transfer students could choose one of Philosophy 301, 303 and 305.

Students majoring in Philosophy should seek advice from the Department before each registration. Since many philosophical problems have their origins in other non-philosophical disciplines, students should not only consult 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 Department's Undergraduate Committee.
