Colleges and Universities Offering Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Major in Philosophy in India

Institutions Offering Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Major in Philosophy

•  Ashoka University, Haryana  
  Course Content:
  To earn a Philosophy Major, students must complete at least 12 courses (48 credits) in Philosophy. These can be completed as the student’s declared (pure) Major during their undergraduate studies, which requires 100 credits overall – 48 credits from the Philosophy Major, (depending on the batch) up to 36 credits from FCs, 4 credits from co-curricular courses, and 12 credits from other elective courses (not to be confused with Philosophy Electives, though students may of course elect to take more Philosophy courses than required for the Major).
  These 12 courses can also be completed after the UG graduation, during the Ashoka Scholars Programme (ASP). In the latter case, completing the requirements specified for the Philosophy Major will lead to a Second Major Equivalent in Philosophy.
