USUPhilosophy

Diversity institutes support students from groups underrepresented in the discipline of philosophy as they hone their philosophical interests, become part of a community, and gain insight into the graduate admissions process. Further details about each institute, including eligibility and application requirements, may be found on the APA page listing summer undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy. Though these institutes are typically residential programs that occur at university campuses, most institutes will be held virtually this year.

Students should apply for these scholarships in philosophy! More information about them on this page.

Just another week or so and spring classes start! Students should know that if they are a philosophy minor or major, it may be that instructors are willing to add them to classes that are full. So, if a class you want is full, add your name to the waiting list on Banner, and let the instructor know that you are a philosophy minor/major, and you are interested in adding the class. Classes are not all the same, and there may be reasons why the instructor won’t be able to add you, but in every case (in Philosophy) it is worth asking about.

Best wishes for the coming term!
