With the permission of the instructor and Graduate Studies Committee, Topics courses used to satisfy the area-of-specialization requirement may be repeated for credit. With permission of the Graduate Studies Committee, Phi 697 (Independent Study) and Phi 750 and 751 (Advanced Seminars in Philosophy) may be counted as satisfying the area-of- specialization requirement, and up to 8 credits in a cognate field may be substituted for 8 credits in the area of specialization when the student's program warrants. No course may be counted as fulfilling both the area-of- specialization and the core-course requirement or both the area-of- specialization and the history-of-philosophy requirement.
Master's thesis (699) and load-bearing courses (such as 792 and 899) do not count towards the course work requirements.
Please note: This program offers an internship, field experience, study abroad component, or clinical experience in the course listing as an option to fulfill course requirements.
