If you are an MA student, then you must complete 30 hours of graduate course work. Your course work must include at least 24 hours of graduate courses (8 courses), including at least 4 seminars, and at least 3 hours of Phil 7300 (thesis writing). The remaining 3 hours may be Phil 7000 (research) or any other appropriate graduate course work. You may, with the approval of your Advisory Committee, count graduate courses offered by other departments toward your minimum course requirement.
