Advising Notes:

1. Most students will be able to finish the major in two years.
2. PHIR is a B.A. degree only, which requires intermediate proficiency in a foreign language and a philosophy course. The philosophy requirement can double-count with major requirements, so philosophy majors will automatically meet it by following the major. Religion majors may need to take one extra philosophy course, depending on courses transferred. Students are strongly encouraged to begin their foreign language at the community college.
