Detailed information about our major, minor, and honors program can be found here.

The honors program requirements are the same for transfer students. But if you do not meet all of the requirements you are still welcome to apply. Depending on the number of applications we receive in a given year we can sometimes admit a student who meets most but not all of the requirements.

Information about our course offerings can be found here.

If you have a question about transferring credit or counting a course from another department for philosophy credit, please send your question to Jack Mikuszewski, including as much information as possible in your email.

You should also write to Jack if you wish to declare the major or minor.

If you wish to take a course but have not met the prerequisites, you must email the course instructor to ask for an exception. I cannot help you with this.

If you want an exception to a major requirement, please send me a detailed explanation. Since the minor has so few requirements we are not flexible about changes to the minor.

I do not know of any internships or summer work opportunities related to the major.

If you want to take an independent study, please gather the information specified in the course description and then complete this form.

If you want general advice about what courses to take, my advice is to take logic and an introductory course as early as possible. Otherwise, take whatever courses interest you most in a given semester, consistent with completing the major requirements in time; keep an eye on the history requirements.

If you wish to appeal a grade, you must first consult with the instructor who gave you that grade. An appeal is generally appropriate only if you believe your grade violates a CAS policy. If you wish to file a dispute, you may email either the department chair or the office of the academic dean with an explanation, with supporting documentation. For more information on grading appeals, please visit this page.

If you have questions which were not answered by the above, please email me with as much detail as possible. If you would like to meet in person you may come to my office hours, which are 9:30-10:30 am on Wednesdays, in room 403 of 3-5 Washington Place.
