* Philosophy Capstone (PHIL498W) must be taken jointly with a 300- or 400-level Philosophy course, with approval from the joint course instructor and the student's major advisor. Students successfully pass PHIL498W who (i) complete a substantial term-paper in the joint course and (ii) make a presentation to the class on the topic of the term-paper. Alternatively, with departmental approval, students may take PHIL498W jointly with Independent Study (PHIL490). Students who wish to pursue the option of an independent study in this context should apply to the department and submit a prospectus. Ordinarily, PHIL498W will be taken in the student's senior year and after successful completion of both PHIL230 and PHIL231. A student must have declared a Philosophy major before enrolling in PHIL498W.
** HUM497W Humanities Senior Seminar may be used as one of these credits with departmental approval.
With departmental approval, students may satisfy this requirement by taking PHIL490 Independent Study (4 semester hours). Students who wish to pursue the option of an independent study in this context should apply to the department and submit a prospectus.
