With the guidance of the philosophy department chair, an Alternative Field can be devised to satisfy specific degree objectives. The design of this major depends on student initiative and thorough consultation with the student’s advisor and the department chair. The courses selected must be thematically congruous and reflect the ideal of a coherent, integrated whole. Applications for the Alternative Field degree are available through the Philosophy Department chair, and the department chair must approve each Alternative Field degree application.
