Senior Philosophy Seminar

Catalog description

A capstone experience with a threefold purpose: (1) to encourage the student to review and integrate materials from earlier coursework; (2) to provide the student with some experience of study at the graduate level; and (3) to encourage the student to integrate one’s experience in the discipline with one’s overall undergraduate education. The course is intended to be a seminar involving close reading and research. It requires the completion of a substantial research project as well as a pair of comprehensive exams on systematic topics and historical figures.
