Planning Ahead
Philosophy 405 requires that either
Phil 105, Critical Thinking, Phil 106, Logic, or
Phil 368, First Course in Symbolic Logic, be
taken as a prerequisite. Although this
requirement can be waived, especially for
transfer students, you should consider taking one
of these three classes. All three courses meet
the GE Critical Thinking requirement and all
three also double-count toward the major. (Only
courses in this GE area can be double-counted.)
If you have already fulfilled your GE Critical
Thinking requirement, consider taking the upper
division logic course, Phil 368. This is an
excellent course and is central to the kind of
careful reasoning expected of you as a philosophy
major.
Philosophy 493 requires as a
prerequisite two courses in Ethics and
Social/Political Philosophy from areas (3.a) or
(3.b) of the Concentration course requirements.

Applications to graduate programs at
professional schools typically begin sometime in
the late Fall prior to enrolling following Fall.
Both Phil 405 and Phil 493 are designed to aid
the success of your application. Typically, you
should these courses no later than the Fall
Semester of your senior year if you plan to
enroll in a graduate professional program the
following Fall. Consider taking both courses the
Summer before your senior year.
Note that it typically takes one or two months
to set-up an internship. You need to start the
process the semester prior to enrolling in the
course. If you wait until the beginning of Fall
semester to begin looking for an internship, it
may well be too late.
