Track 6: Historical and Comparative Studies

To assist philosophy majors both in focusing their programs of study and in better relating their studies to career objectives, the department encourages students to group their elective courses around the six programs of emphasis or "tracks," which will be reflected in a student's transcript and diploma.

Students are under no obligation to select a particular track; those who make no selection will automatically be assigned to Track 1.

Students in any track must still complete all courses required for the major.

This track is available for students interested in exploring the range and diversity of philosophical themes as developed over time and across cultures. Students choose five courses from the following:

• PHI 3664 Ethics East And West
• PHI 3930 Selected Topics
• PHI 3931 East and West: Selected Topics
• PHI 3935 Ancient Philosophy: Selected Topics
• PHI 4930 Topics In Philosophy
