Study Abroad

Philosophy majors and minors are encouraged to study abroad. All coursdes taken through EAP are considered UC courses for which UC credit is earned and grades are directly recorded on the transcript and are factored into your UC San Diego overall GPA. After the admissions office's acceptance of EAP course units, the Department of Philosophy independently determines which coures may be applied to the major by petition. Many courses have been accepted for major requirements, but all must be petitioned.
