Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in PhilosophyA Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Texas A&M requires 30 hours (10 courses) in Philosophy, in addition to the courses required by the College of Liberal Arts and the University's Core Curriculum. The ten courses in Philosophy must include one course from each of eight areas (see the table below) and two additional Philosophy electives.
Anyone who either is or wants to be an undergraduate Philosophy major at Texas
A&M should contact the department's
undergraduate advisor, Scott Austin,
who can assist with curriculum planning, transfer credits, substitution
credits, declaration of a minor, and other administrative chores. Scott Austin is
also interested in the student's overall development within the university
community and is available to help with a variety of concerns not necessarily
restricted to classroom performance or administrative detail. Indeed, he's a
great teacher (recipient of a University-Level Distinguished Teaching Award in
1995) and in general a great guy. Our
Department staff handles a
great many details concerning registration, such as waiting lists for full
classes, and can provide you with a wealth of information. You can also direct
questions to our Department Head,
Robin Smith. All of these people have offices in Bolton 314.
