Additional Information & Requirements

Our major and minor requirements have a relatively open structure. This enables our students to craft their philosophy degree according to their interests and needs. It also allows many of our students to double major, which is something we encourage. Part of our mission is to help students see the value of philosophy as a discipline that complements many other disciplines. Our graduates attest to philosophy enriching and improving their knowledge of those other disciplines, and many have gone on to professional or graduate work in disciplines as various as law, neuroscience, education, psychology, classics, and design analysis, as well as philosophy.
