Step 1: Declare Philosophy as your major here. It takes very little time–and you’ll officially be a Philosophy Major.
Step 2: Take three introductory philosophy courses:
Add seven more philosophy courses; at least five of them should be at or above the 300 level.
That’s It: Celebrate!
Each of your philosophy courses must be at least three (3) credits, and you are required to earn a minimum grade of C (2.0) in each one. We recommend that you take the 100-level courses first, but that isn’t a requirement.
A note for dual degree students: thanks to the new dual degree advantage program, completing a second degree in philosophy is as simple as completing the coursework above—there are no additional baccalaureate requirements!
