allowed to count toward this 30-hour total. Majors are required to take
Philosophy 3030 during their senior year. Majors are also required
to complete at least one course in each of the four central areas of
philosophy: logic, value theory, history of philosophy, and metaphysics/epistemology.
A course’s area can be identified by the second digit
of its catalog number, a “1’’ for logic, a “2’’ for value theory, a “3’’ for
history of philosophy, and a “4’’ for metaphysics and epistemology.
Courses having any other number as second digit does not satisfy a
distribution requirement.
Philosophy majors are required to demonstrate computer literacy
by receiving credit for Computer Science 1000, or any other threecredit
course offered by the Department of Computer Science, or any
three-credit course which satisfies the computer literacy requirement
in the curriculum of any other major at UNO. In unusual circumstances,
one or more of these requirements may be waived. A student
seeking such an exemption should petition the department.
Philosophy majors should, in consultation with a departmental
academic advisor, plan in advance a well-balanced and coherent program
of study tailored to their particular needs and interests. They
are also strongly encouraged to retain the same academic advisor
throughout their years as a philosophy major.
Minor in Philosophy
A minimum of 18 credit hours of philosophy, with a grade-point
average of at least 2.0, is required for a minor in philosophy. At least
six hours must be in courses numbered 3000 or above; another six
hours must be in courses numbered 2000 or above. Minors in philosophy
are also required to complete at least one course in each of three
of the four central areas of philosophy, as defined in the requirements
for majors.
Honors in Philosophy
Philosophy majors are eligible to enter the department’s honors
program during the senior year. To graduate with honors, students
must meet the following requirements:
1. A cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 in philosophy
courses, an overall grade-point average of at least 3.25, and acceptable
completion of a senior honors thesis (including six hours of
credit for Philosophy 3001).
2. Students must arrange for a faculty member in the department
to direct the thesis. After completion, the thesis must be defended
orally before a committee composed of the thesis director, another
member of the department, and a representative of the University
Honors Program.
