In addition to the courses required by the College, PHI 1050 - Intro to Philosophy and one upper-division Philosophy elective, Philosophy majors must complete nine more courses, three in the History of Philosophy sequence, and six that define a specific Path of Study.

History of Philosophy
Philosophy majors must complete three courses in the History of Philosophy including:
PHI 3020 - History of Ancient Philosophy ,
PHI 3030 - History of Medieval Philosophy ,
PHI 3040 - Hist of Early Mod Philosophy .
With the approval of the Chair of the Department, upper-division electives and Topics courses in Ancient, Medieval and Modern Philosophy offered in Philosophy and Honors may substitute for the courses offered in this sequence. For examples of such courses click here.
Paths of Study
Philosophy majors are also required to take six additional electives in Philosophy following one of two paths to the completion of their requirements, the Thesis Path or the Track Path.

Double Majors

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Philosophy studies, the Department welcomes and encourages students who want to combine their philosophy major with a major in another department. In order to make this possible, Philosophy double majors can (with the permission of the Chair of the Philosophy Department ) count up to six cognate or related credits from the second major toward fulfilling the Philosophy Major requirements.
