Philosophy/Political Science Double Major
The Departments of Political Science and Geography and Philosophy and Religious Studies have established an arrangement that makes it possible to complete a double major in as few as 55 hours, little more than the 45-49 hours needed for a major in one and minor in the other.
Philosophy/Women's Studies Double Major
A double major in Philosophy and Women's Studies will give you a solid knowledge base in two fields and increase your employment and graduate school opportunities. You can focus on ethics, religious studies, or science and technology. By connecting perspectives on intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation with philosophy, you can develop a distinct course of study that will establish valuable foundations for future professional, personal, and academic goals.
