All students take two graduate-level courses providing a structured program of coursework in the student’s minor field (such as philosophy for literature and arts students or literary or arts criticism for philosophy students):

Graduate students in Philosophy take two graduate-level courses in a single literature or one of the arts.
Graduate students in literature or arts departments, including Classics, take two graduate-level courses in Philosophy, at least one of which must be in metaphysics, epistemology, or the philosophies of language, mind, or action (the PHIL 280s series and related upper-level seminars), and at least one of which must be in value theory (understood to include ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy, the PHIL 270s series and related upper-level seminars)
Graduate students in other departments submit a plan of study for approval by the Faculty Director reflecting graduate-level coursework that provides a background both within philosophy and within the study of literature or the arts that is substantially equivalent to that achieved by philosophy, literature, or arts students in their minor field. Students are advised that this study plan may involve more coursework than would be needed for students whose major field is in literature, arts, or philosophy departments.
