Honors

This program offers the opportunity to pursue a philosophical topic further than the seminar format permits. It also provides recognition both for having done a greater proportion of one's classes at the advanced level and for sustained outstanding achievement in all courses. Those who graduate with honors in philosophy must meet the following requirements:

  • Complete 36 hours in philosophy.
  • Complete at least 18 of those hours at the 300 or 400 level.
  • Achieve a grade point average of at least 3.5 in all courses in philosophy and at least 3.3 overall.
  • Write and be examined on a substantial philosophical essay.
