Majors are encouraged to have a competence in a foreign language
equivalent to that obtained through the intermediate level of study.
Majors also are urged to develop, in consultation with their adviser, a
strong minor program, or even a second major.
Dual credit: Students who are completing both a philosophy major and a religion major (pending approval), or a major plus a minor, may count two courses toward the requirements of both programs.
