The Major

Course Requirements for Philosophy Majors

1. Two history of philosophy courses - ancient-medieval, modern-contemporary.
2. Two courses, each an intensive study of a major philosopher such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Kant, Aquinas, Dewey, etc. In these courses, special emphasis will be placed on the use of primary sources.
3. A course considering the elements of traditional and modern logic.
4. Any other five courses. (Note: Courses in Applied Ethics (AE) can be used to satisfy this requirement.)

Thus a Philosophy 10 course, at least one philosophy course numbered 100 to 199, a logic course, two major figure courses and five courses numbered 200 and above, for a total of 30 credit hours are required for a major in philosophy.
