In addition to these 27 upper-division hours, a philosophy major must take 15 more upper-division hours to meet an Arts and Sciences College requirement of 42 upper-division hours for graduation. These additional 15 upper-division hours may be distributed over any of the University's academic programs in any way a student chooses.

(2) Philosophy's sequence of history of philosophy courses consists of these: PHIL 31001, 31002, 31003, 31004, 31005, 31006, 31010, 31020. Each history of philosophy course is an approved writing-intensive course (WIC).
