Getting started
PHIL 100 (Introduction to Philosophy) is a great place to start taking classes with us. You can get a sense of what philosophy is all about.
If you'd rather start with a class that will help you prep for the LSAT, GRE, or GMAT, you might want to start with PHIL 201 (Critical Thinking) or maybe PHIL 203 (Symbolic Logic). And when you (hopefully) decide to major in philosophy, you'll already have some prerequisites satisfied.
