The student electing to major in philosophy should consult the department's director of undergraduate studies. Early in the senior year, majors should contact a faculty member to direct the writing of the senior thesis. Philosophy majors will satisfy the College of Liberal Arts Writing-Across-the-Curriculum requirement by passing Philosophy 204, 205 and 399. A minor is not required for a major in philosophy, though it is recommended that the student take a foreign language, such as Greek, Latin, French, or German.
