historical survey courses (Classical Modern and Nineteenth Century);
• two seminars in contemporary philosophy (elective);

Theories); and
• a two-semester integration seminar.
• A cumulative grade point
average of at least 3.0 in coursework. Only six credits

eliminate a student from the program.
• An oral
comprehensive examination before a board of examiners consisting of
three faculty members.
• A reading knowledge,

language other than English, normally either French or German, though
substitutions (e.g., Greek or Latin) may be approved in light of a
student’s research needs. The courses satisfying the language
requirement are FRGA 5090 (French) or GEGA 5090 (German), or above.
