Enrollment policies

The Department of Philosophy strictly enforces enrollment limits on its courses. Students will not be added to full courses. Additional seats become available during add/drop period and students are encouraged to use electronic waitlists.

Some courses will be restricted to special programs and to philosophy majors. Some double majors in philosophy may experience difficulty registering for courses and should contact the Philosophy Undergraduate Office

Choosing Courses in Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy offers a variety of courses designed to suit students from every academic background. Ultimately the most effective way to choose a class from our diverse offerings is to carefully examine the course descriptions (link to course descriptions heading below). In addition, this page has information on the lower-division course offerings most commonly taken my non-major students that may aid you in deciding which course to take.

Complementary Coursework in Philosophy
Some students choose to take philosophy courses based on how the course will compliment or improve their major or area of study. The philosophy courses below share material or are thematically related to the areas of study and majors with which they are paired. In some cases the courses are already crosslisted in the departments with which they are paired. Students should check with their advisors to verify that these courses will count toward their degree program.

Lower-division Coursework in Philosophy

Note that not all courses listed below are offered every semester.

All of these courses are designed for students with no background in philosophy.
