Philosophy majors who maintain a 3.5 grade point average in courses in the major may, prior to the beginning of their senior year, apply to the undergraduate program coordinator for special honors work in philosophy. Upon successful completion of that work (which is normally a matter of earning at least an A- in Philosophy 681, our undergraduate/graduate seminar, or in Philosophy 685, the undergraduate senior capstone research seminar) the student will be recommended by the department for graduation with honors in the major.
