Program Requirements
B.A. in Philosophy
A major in philosophy consists of 33 credits chosen from the department offerings. The total requirement is deliberately kept small to encourage the student to combine courses in philosophy with solid concentrations in such other areas as his or her interests and career goals suggest, with dual majors encouraged.
All courses that may apply to the major are included in the determination of the grade point average in the major.
