Philosophy
Chair: Steven V. Hicks 
Graduate Adviser: Alberto Cordero
Four-Year B.A./M.A. Program 
The Philosophy Department offers to
strongly qualified undergraduate students
the opportunity to receive both master’s
and bachelor’s degrees within four years:
that is, within the 128 credits normally
required for the bachelor’s degree alone.
Application to this program should be
made in the upper sophomore or lower
junior semester; admission is granted only
in the junior year.
Seminars and research tutorials are
given on both the leading contemporary
movements of philosophy and the chief his-
torical periods and figures. Students with
diverse philosophical interests are accom-
modated by a faculty representing a broad
spectrum of specializations. The accelera-
tion and intensiveness of the B.A./M.A.
program make for an exceptionally solid
grounding in philosophy that will be of
value in all fields in which the tradition of
liberal arts is prized. Full details and
application forms are obtainable from the
Chair or Graduate Adviser.
