Students must complete parts A & B readingand composition courses in sequential order by the end of their fourthsemester.College of Letters & Science 7 CourseBreadth RequirementsBreadth Requirements he undergraduate breadth requirements provide Berkeley students witha rich and varied educational experience outside of their major program.As the foundation of a liberal arts education, breadth courses givestudents a view into the intellectual life of the University while introducingthem to a multitude of perspectives and approaches to research andscholarship. Engaging students in new disciplines and with peers fromother majors, the breadth experience strengthens interdisciplinaryconnections and context that prepares Berkeley graduates to understandand solve the complex issues of their day.Unit Requirements 120 total units Of the 120 units, 36 must be upper division units Of the 36 upper division units, 6 must be taken in courses offeredoutside your major departmentResidence RequirementsFor units to be considered in "residence," you must be registered incourses on the Berkeley campus as a student in the College of Letters& Science. Most students automatically fulfill the residence requirementby attending classes here for four years. In general, there is no needto be concerned about this requirement, unless you go abroad for asemester or year or want to take courses at another institution or throughUC Extension during your senior year. In these cases, you should makean appointment to meet an adviser to determine how you can meet theSenior Residence Requirement.Note: Courses taken through UC Extension do not count towardresidence.Senior Residence RequirementAfter you become a senior (with 90 semester units earned toward yourBA degree), you must complete at least 24 of the remaining 30 units inresidence in at least two semesters. To count as residence, a semestermust consist of at least 6 passed units. Intercampus Visitor, EAP, and UCBerkeley-Washington Program (UCDC) units are excluded.You may use a Berkeley Summer Session to satisfy one semester of theSenior Residence requirement, provided that you successfully complete6 units of course work in the Summer Session and that you have beenenrolled previously in the college.Modified Senior Residence RequirementParticipants in the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP), BerkeleySummer Abroad, or the UC Berkeley Washington Program (UCDC)may meet a Modified Senior Residence requirement by completing 243(excluding EAP) of their final 60 semester units in residence. At least 12of these 24 units must be completed after you have completed 90 units.Upper Division Residence RequirementYou must complete in residence a minimum of 18 units of upperdivision courses (excluding UCEAP units), 12 of which must satisfy therequirements for your major.MissionThe Undergraduate Student Learning Initiative (USLI) is a campuswideproject that has been under development at Berkeley since Fall2007. This initiative is designed to promote and facilitate learning forundergraduates across campus. In connection with this initiative, thePhilosophy Department has articulated the following goals for ourundergraduate majors.The primary goal that we expect our undergraduate philosophy majorsto achieve is to become capable of engaging with the main topics andissues in contemporary academic philosophy and with the historicaltradition by which contemporary philosophy is informed. Students whograduate from our program should be able to think both analytically andcreatively about philosophical issues and texts. They should be able toanalyse and raise objections to philosophical views and arguments thatare presented to them, and to develop and defend their own views onphilosophical topics. They should be able to do this both in writing andin oral discussion with other students and with instructors. Achievingthese objectives requires that students acquire more general skills inwriting, reading, and oral argument: they need to be able to organize theirideas, express them clearly both in writing and in speaking, and constructplausible arguments in their defense.Learning Goals for the MajorThis primary goal includes the following more specific goals:1. A broad general understanding of the work of major figures in thehistory of philosophy, including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant.2. A deeper and more detailed understanding of the work of at least twohistorically important philosophers.3. Familiarity with the most important topics in a range of areaswhich are typically regarded as lying at the center of contemporaryphilosophical thought, including metaphysics, theory of knowledge,philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.4. Familiarity with the most important topics in ethics and the relatedfield of political philosophy.5. Familiarity with formal logic, including both the ability to understandthe logical symbolism used in many contemporary philosophical texts,and to carry out logical proofs and derivations within a formal system.6. The general capacity to think analytically and creatively aboutphilosophical texts and issues.7. The general capacity to express philosophical ideas and defend themeffectively in argument, both in writing and orally.AssessmentStudents’ attainment of these goals is measured by assessment oftheir performance in the courses required for the major. All philosophyundergraduate courses, with the exception of those in logic, requirestudents to write several essays over the course of the semester; many ofthem also require a final exam where the questions also take the form ofshort philosophical essays. These essays are evaluated by the instructorwith an eye both to the student’s mastery of the specific subject matter

4Philosophycovered by the course, and to the student’s mastery of more generalskills in philosophical thinking and writing. A higher standard of thinkingand writing is required for upper division than for lower division courses.More ambitious students have the option of taking graduate seminars aselectives, where the standard for philosophical writing is higher still.In logic courses, students’ competence in formal logic is evaluatedthrough assessment of their performance in weekly problem sets andexaminations (typically including a midterm and a final).All of our courses, again with the exception of those in formal logic,require students to engage in oral philosophical discussion, typicallyduring sections taught by graduate student instructors. In many courses,students’ contributions to discussion are assessed as part of the overallassessment of their performance in the class. We recognize it as ashortcoming in our program, however, that our courses are often toolarge to allow much discussion, and as a result, we are not confidentthat all of our students do in fact become proficient in this aspect of theprimary goal of the program. We think it very important that students havethe opportunity to develop their skills in oral discussion of philosophicalissues, and we are hoping to be able to introduce as a requirement thatstudents take one undergraduate seminar which offers ample opportunityfor discussion with a faculty member and with their peers. So far, thesmall size of the faculty compared with the large size of enrollment inphilosophy classes has prevented us from doing this, but we hope thatfaculty size will increase to a degree that will make this change in theprogram feasible.CurriculumStudents are required to take 12 courses overall, including a number ofrequired courses; these required courses are selected and designed withreference to the specific goals from the numbered list above, as follows: Goal 1: PHILOS 25A and PHILOS 25B (both required) Goal 2: Courses in the 160-187 sequence (two of these required) Goal 3: PHILOS 122, PHILOS 125, PHILOS 131, PHILOS 132, andPHILOS 135 (two of these required) Goal 4: PHILOS 104, PHILOS 105, PHILOS 107, PHILOS 115 (oneof these required) Goal 5: PHILOS 12A (required)PHILOS R1B Reading and CompositionThrough Philosophy 4 UnitsTerms offered: Fall 2022, Spring 2022, Fall 2021Training in writing expository prose in conjunction with readingphilosophical texts.

Studentswill learn to formalize reasoning in symbolic languages with preciselydefined meanings and rules of inference. Symbolic logic is by naturea mathematical subject, but the course does not presuppose anyprior coursework in mathematics—only an openness to mathematicalreasoning.The course concentrates on three systems of symbolic logic:propositional logic (or sentential logic); syllogistic logic; and predicatelogic (or first-order logic). Students from philosophy, mathematics,computer science, and linguistics will find important connections betweensymbolic logic and their other coursework.Introduction to Logic: Read More [ ]Rules & RequirementsCredit Restrictions: Students can remove a deficient grade inPHILOS W12A by passing PHILOS 12A.
