Students wishing to declare a Major in Philosophy must meet with the Undergraduate Chair to discuss their planned course of study. Prior to the meeting, it may be helpful to for the student to familiarize themselves with some of the information provided on this site, such as information on the four concentrations and their requirements.

Professor Quayshawn Spencer, our Undergraduate Chair, will have walk-in office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. during the Spring 2024 semester. Students that need time outside of those hours should schedule through Prof. Spencer’s Calendly.

 

Students wishing to declare a Minor in Philosophy must meet with the Undergraduate Coordinator to discuss their planned course of study. Prior to the meeting, it may be helpful to for the student to familiarize themselves with some of the information provided on this site, such as information on the requirements for the minor.

Jess Kwasniak, our Department Administrator, holds advising meetings on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Students should schedule a time through Jess Kwasniak’s Calendly.

 

After meeting with either the Undergraduate Chair or Department Administrator, students will then fill out the “Declare/Update Field of Study Form,” which can be accessed through Path Forms at Path@Penn or on the Student Registration and Financial Services website.

Major and minor applications will take some time to process. If a student has submitted a form, and they are uncertain if it has been fully processed, they can reach out to Giulia Dunn, the Undergraduate Coordinator, at giuldunn@sas.upenn.edu.
