PHIL 87 Research in Philosophy
The purpose of Philosophy 87 is to provide opportunity for a student to do advanced work on a topic that the student has studied in a regularly offered course, or to study a topic not normally covered in a regularly offered course. In order to enroll in Philosophy 87, a student must prepare a brief (one page) proposal which describes what the student wishes to study and accomplish by taking this research course. All proposals for Philosophy 87 must be reviewed by the faculty of the Department after having been provisionally approved by the faculty member who is the prospective director. Students should consult with faculty members who might serve as advisors in the preparation and submission of a proposal. Independent study proposals must be submitted to the Chair of the department by the end of the seventh week of the term prior to the elected term. Philosophy 87 may be taken more than once, but at most, one election will count toward satisfaction of the requirements of the major.
