*PHIL 110, 221, 231 and 251 are taught every year. All other courses are offered on a two-year rotation. Therefore, the order of years 3 and 4 above may be switched, depending on the year of entry. The students may start taking 200-level elective courses with prerequisites once PHIL 110 has been completed. 300 and 400 level courses should not be taken until at least the second year.

Note: Before registering for a course, students must satisfy prerequisites. Students should see "Course Descriptions" in the latest catalog. (Descriptions are available online for Undergraduate Courses and Graduate Course Descriptions.)
