Philosophy MajorA major in philosophy requires a minimum of 37 hours. The major program introduces students to the systematic study of philosophy in a broad range of fields, problems, and issues. The program is designed to prepare students for graduate and professional schools. The major program also provides a solid grounding in philosophical thinking and method for those preparing for careers where critical disciplined thinking and problem analysis is an asset. The department strongly encourages majors to consider "doubling" a philosophy major with another area of concentration. The department also welcomes "double majors." However, the student must carefully work out his or her program of studies for the double major with the philosophy major adviser. For students from other departments doubling philosophy, some adjustment of courses to incorporate into the philosophy major methodological or foundational work in the student's primary field of interest is possible. (Prior consultation with the philosophy major adviser and written permission of the chair of the philosophy department are required.) Coursework for Majors (37 hours min.) Course Offerings: Foundations of Critical Inquiry PL 1310 From Experience to Meaning PL 3322 Critical Inquiry in the Human Person PL 3358 Historical Critical Inquiry in Axial Heritage PL 2336 Foundational Ethics for Engineers |
