UNDERGRADUATE
STUDIES
Through reasoned reflection, philosophy seeks to understand human
experience in all its various aspects. Courses examine the moral,
social, political, aesthetic, and religious dimensions of human existence,
topics in special fields such as science, and the historical development
of philosophy. In these courses students can develop skills in the
presentation, interpretation, analysis, and evaluation of differing
viewpoints, and refine their own beliefs about deeply important issues.
REQUIREMENTS
FOR A MAJOR IN PHILOSOPHY
A minimum of 30 semester hours in Philosophy, to include a logic course
(PHL 121 or 321), two courses covering the history of philosophy from
the pre-Socratics to Kant (PHL 240 and 245), and two of the following:
Theory of Knowledge (PHL 421), Advanced Ethical Theory (PHL 431),
Metaphysics (PHL 461).
No more than six hours at the 100-level
may be counted toward the hours required for the major; however, additional
hours taken at this level can be counted toward the total number of
hours required for graduation. Fifteen hours must be taken at the
300/400-level. PHL 240 and 245 do not have to be taken in sequence
and should be taken early in the major. Credit for PHL 499, Honors
Thesis, is only given as an addition to the hours required for the
major.
