Sample Study Plan for double Major in Philosophy and Chinese Studies
Sample Study Plan for double Major in Philosophy and Chinese Studies
China has a long and rich philosophical tradition, which provides not only a valuable resource on its own, but also a contrast for gaining a deeper understanding of Western philosophy. In a pluralistic world today, building a cross-cultural education basis is particularly important. GVSU is proud of our unique strength in Chinese philosophy. With a major in philosophy, one can take PHI 210 (Eastern Philosophy) and PHI 306 (Eastern Great Philosophers), and take some additional courses for a Chinese major. The table below is a sample study plan for earning the double major. Please consult with an advisor in both programs to make your own plan.
* These are credit hours that are not included in the major requirement.
