Notes

Courses for Philosophy Majors and Minors require a minimum grade of C- or better.

Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree additional requirements include two years of language, or same as University Requirement. The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in philosophy can be awarded to philosophy majors who have taken 12 credits in math or science beyond the University Studies Requirements, as approved by an advisor.

A Philosophy DSC course will not satisfy the DSC (Depth Life and Physical Sciences) General Education requirement for a Philosophy Major. But if ADVS 3200 is taken (a DSC attribute course) it will fulfill the DSC requirement and will also fulfill a Philosophy elective.

Must complete six of the following courses (18 credits)

At least four of which must be at the upper-division level. Up to 3 pass/fail credits in philosophy courses may be applied toward the philosophy minor.
