Notes:
(a) There are currently TWO philosophy courses (PL 245 - Chinese Philosophy, PL 305
- Modern Philosophy) with CA designations which can fulfill the CA requirement. Any
of these courses may double count to fulfill both secondary emphasis in Philosophy
and Cultural Analysis requirements. That means if you take any one of these courses
as your CA course, it will count as one philosopy course.
(b) Also, a course could double count to fulfill multiple requirements, such as PL 305 counts as an advance philosophy course AND a history of philosophy course (it also count as your CA course).
