Advanced Writing Proficiency

At the end of their junior year, philosophy majors intending to fulfill their Advanced Writing Proficiency requirement in philosophy submit a portfolio for evaluation. The Advanced W must be awarded at this time if the student is to pursue the thesis option for her Senior Comprehensive. Those students who do not receive the Advanced W during the junior year, must pursue the exam option and submit an Advanced W portfolio by January 15th of the senior year.

Senior Comprehensive/Advanced Writing Proficiency

Majors who do their Senior Comprehensive in philosophy may either write a thesis or take an exam. Those pursuing the thesis option receive three credit hours (PHIL 496 Senior Thesis ) and are eligible for honors. The exam consists of a three hour examination on questions designed specifically for each student on the basis of her course work.
