Structure of the degree:
The distribution courses and electives must include at least one 4000-level class (i.e., beyond the two that are part of the required core). Students who are planning to apply to graduate programs in philosophy are encouraged to take at least one additional 4000-level class beyond these requirements.
Please note that some required courses, especially at the 4000-level, are offered only once a year. This allows us to maximize the variety of our course offerings. It is important to plan ahead, consult an advisor, and register as soon as your enrollment window opens to ensure that you will have the courses you need for graduation.
Structure of the minor:
Students must successfully complete at least 18 hours of courses acceptable for major credit in Philosophy, including at least nine hours at the upper-division level.
The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is a debate competition sponsored by the Association for Practical and Applied Ethics. Ethics Bowl events center around discussing complex and pressing moral questions based on contemporary case examples.
The Society of Undergraduate Philosophers (SOUP) is an organization of undergraduate students interested in philosophy. SOUP meetings involve discussions of philosophy, talks by faculty members, and other philosophy-related activities.
