Requirements for a major in philosophy are satisfied by successfully completing 36 credits of coursework in philosophy (ordinarily, 9 courses).

All majors in philosophy, Bachelors of Arts as well as Bachelors of Science, with the exception of those in the applied ethics track, are required to take the following core courses (6 courses, 24 credits):

• PHIL 113 (Critical Thinking and Argumentation) or PHIL 212 (Formal Logic)
• PHIL 119 (Ethics) or PHIL 123 (Social Ethics) or PHIL 127 (Contemporary Moral Issues)
• PHIL 210 (History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy)
• PHIL 211 (History of Modern Philosophy)
• One course at the 400 level
• PHIL 515 (Senior Symposium)

In addition, students are required to take three additional courses selected with the help of an advisor. At least two of these additional courses should be at a 200-level or higher. A detailed program suited to the needs of the individual student will be developed for each philosophy major.
