A Partnership For Success
The Philosophy faculty strongly recommend that all majors and students considering the major—even if they are not yet declared—seek advising from a full-time faculty member in the Department of Philosophy as early in their academic career as possible.
We can advise you about how best to pursue your courses, which concentration option is best for you, and where you should be focusing your efforts. We can also answer questions about your program of study, potential careers, pursuing graduate or professional school (including law school), and a whole lot more. You may schedule an advising appointment at any time!
Whom you should meet with for advising depends on how many credits in philosophy you've taken and whether you've declared your major in philosophy. See below.
I'm a declared philosophy major and have 27 or more hours in philosophy.
You should meet with a full-time faculty member of the Department of Philosophy for advising.
I'm either undeclared or I have fewer than 27 hours in philosophy.
You'll need to see a College of Arts and Sciences advisor for advising.
