Department courses fall into three main groups (delineated in Courses, below). In general, a student is advised to take courses within each group in sequence, e.g., 100-level courses provide excellent foundations for 203 and 204, and Philosophy 202 is a good preparation for 302. Within levels there is no recommended sequence. There is, for instance, no reason to take Philosophy 203 before 210 or 301 before 331.
A major in philosophy consists of ten courses, including the following: Philosophy 202 (Reasoning) and at least one other course in the area of logic, rhetoric and dialectic; Philosophy 203 (Ethical Theory) and at least one other course in the area of ethics, politics and aesthetics; Philosophy 204 (Theories of Knowledge and Reality) and at least one other course in the area of metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of language.
A minor in philosophy consists of five to nine courses including Philosophy 202, 203 and 204.
To receive honors in philosophy, a student must satisfy the requirements for the major. In addition, he or she must have a 3.5 grade point average in the department and complete a departmentally approved honors project (Philosophy 401 or 402).
