Philosophy Honors Program

Candidates must be seniors who have completed at least 21 credits in philosophy, including PHI 215 , PHI 282 , PHI 283 , and at least 6 credits in upper-level philosophy courses, with a grade point average of at least 3.5 in philosophy.

Candidates must complete all requirements for a major and an honors thesis. Admission requires a recommendation by a member of the Philosophy department, who consents to serve as thesis advisor, and the approval of the department chair.

Writing Requirement

In accordance with Arts and Sciences policy, writing assignments in upper-level philosophy courses involve a minimum of 3,000 words of college-standard English. Because of the importance placed by the department on clarity of language as essential to clarity of thought, most courses involve writing assignments in excess of the minimum. All major writing assignments are criticized and returned for revision.
