UIS to offer online undergraduate degree in philosophy
Beginning in the 2004 fall semester, students at the University of Illinois at Springfield will be able to enroll in a program leading to the bachelor of arts degree in Philosophy. UIS received approval for the new program from the U of I Board of Trustees in May and final approval from the Illinois Board of Higher Education in July. The program is housed within UIS’ College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The new degree, to be offered completely online as well as through a mix of online and traditional classroom format, is an extension of UIS’ minor in Philosophy, which has been in existence since 1989. UIS will be one of the first universities in the country to offer a philosophy major completely online. The program initiative is funded in part on a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
