This schedule reflects the minimum requirements to fulfill the Major. Philosophy tries to make a second major possible with its schedule, but many students will take more than the minimum number of courses, particularly if Philosophy is their only Major. The schedule assumes placement into English 101, Math 102 or 11, and a foreign language at 103 level. General Education courses are marked by an *, and two of these would be Philosophy courses.
