Academic Map
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. To graduate on-time, you need to make sure you have achieved or surpassed these milestones by the end of each term. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term and may use categories of courses such as LS History for a Liberal Studies History course. The Liberal Studies and elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses.
To complete a major in Philosophy, a student will need 30 hours of coursework with grades of C- or better, 21 of which must be at the 3000-level or above. Additional requirements include a minor and completion of a classical or modern foreign language through the 2200-level.
