Grading Policies

All courses applied to the major must be taken for a letter grade and passed with at least a ‘C’. 

French and Philosophy Subplan: Up to 10 units of courses taken in the Philosophy department may be taken ‘CR/NC’ or ‘S/NC’; the remainder must be taken for a letter grade.

GPA Requirements

A grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better must be achieved in each course.

External Credit Policies

Limit to 12 units of coursework completed at another university to count toward the major, and only with approval by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

French and Philosophy Subplan: substitutions and transfer credits are generally not permitted for the PHIL 170 series class or the PHIL 180 series class and are never allowed for PHIL 80, FRENCH 181, or the capstone seminar.

Additional Program Policies

No more than 12 units of coursework for the major should be taken as independent study courses.

Relevant courses from other departments may contribute toward the major as electives with the prior consent of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Program worksheets and updates must all be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

These units may not be used for any other major or minor.

French and Philosophy Subplan: Once a student has completed the SLE sequence (all three quarters), they may count up to 10 units towards this major. The SLE units can replace one history of philosophy course and one upper-division French course.
