Graduation Requirements:
GUIDELINES FOR THE PHILOSOPHY MAJOR PORTFOLIO
Each philosophy major is required to submit to the department a Major Portfolio as part of their graduation requirements. The following are guidelines to help you accomplish this task without too much trouble.
You are required to choose a faculty member, other than your scheduling advisor, to serve as your Academic Career Advisor. This faculty member will be assisting you in your preparation of the Major Portfolio, to discuss career choices or opportunities for graduate study, and will administer the exit interview. This should be done as soon as you are being advised in the department. If you have chosen someone and later decide to change, you are permitted to make one (1) change. You should be in contact with your advisor as soon as you have chosen him/her to make arrangements for your meeting(s).
1. During the final semester of enrollment each major shall submit a "major portfolio" consisting of the following:
(i) the major requirements completion form, which is available at the front office and which includes a list of all philosophy courses taken
(ii) an example of the student's best written work
(iii) a statement summarizing the student's experience as a philosophy major and possible recommendations for the department
(iv) a brief report of the results of the exit interview with the academic career advisor designed to assess the major's knowledge in some areas of philosophy which the student has explored during their degree program
NOTE: If your Major Portfolio is not turned into the Department, you will not receive your diploma.
2. Students are encouraged to do a graduation check with the Graduation Certification Office at least two semesters before graduation. The person to contact is Gregory Kline at gkline@uga.edu.
