The Philosophy major requires twelve courses (including the prerequisites and the senior requirement) that collectively expose majors to a wide range of philosophy and philosophers. The Philosophy curriculum is divided into three large groups: history of philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology, and ethics and value theory. In history of philosophy, majors are required to take (1) either the introductory sequence in philosophy (PHIL 125a and 126b) or both terms of Directed Studies, and (2) an additional, third course in history of philosophy. Majors must take two courses in metaphysics and epistemology and two courses in ethics and value theory. Majors must also take two seminars and satisfy the senior requirement as described below. Prerequisite to the major are two introductory or intermediate philosophy courses.
