Philosophy Major/Minor
Requirements for major: Students may complete a major in philosophy with 36 semester hours in 9 courses, including Logic, History of Philosophy, and Senior Seminar. One Core topics course taught by an instructor from the philosophy department may be used to meet the requirements of the philosophy major. At least five courses in the major must be taken at Millsaps. Completion of Heritage may be counted as one four-hour course toward the nine-course requirement.
Requirements for minor: Students may elect a minor in philosophy with any four courses from the philosophy department. At least two of the courses for the minor must be taken at Millsaps. Neither Heritage nor Core topics courses count toward the minor.
Philosophy-Religious Studies Major
Requirements for major (Total of 11 courses): Students may complete a major in philosophy–religious studies with Philosophy of Religion (Philosophy or Religious Studies 3310), 20 additional hours in philosophy, and five additional courses in religious studies. The philosophy courses must include Philosophy 3010 and 3020. The religious studies courses must include at least two courses representing primary emphasis on TRADITIONS, COMPARISONS, and ARGUMENTS (see designations in religious studies course descriptions for how courses ordinarily count) and Religious Studies Seminar (3900 or 4900). Students pursuing this major will be given a specially adapted comprehensive examination by a committee of faculty from the two departments. Each student will choose to follow either the philosophy major or the religious studies major format for comprehensive examinations; when the philosophy format is chosen, Philosophy 4900 must be taken. Neither Heritage nor Core topics courses count toward the combined major.
