Suggested Corrections to the Major

The "groups" of the The Undergraduate Major page and the "areas" of the Philosophy Major APRR page do not match up. That should be fixed, presumably by modifying the The Undergraduate Major page to correspond to the Philosophy Major APRR page.

The listing under "Core Courses" on the Philosophy Major APRR page should have a space between the period and opening parenthesis and a period just before the closing parenthesis.

The headings "Philosophy Areas" and "History areas" on the Philosophy Major APRR page are on the same level, which suggests that the "History areas" are not part of philosophy.

The word "areas" should be capitalized in the title "History areas" on the Philosophy Major APRR page.

The spelling of the history area "History of Medieval Philsophy " should be corrected on the Philosophy Major APRR page.

Suggested Corrections to the Minor

There is an obvious problem with the minor: it mentions PhiL213 twice, and there is no such course. Does anyone know what is going on here?

The PhilosophyandScience#PhilosophyMinor is missing from the list. It should read as follows, where I have omitted links so that the change will be verbatim as required:

Emphasis in Philosophy and Science
- Choose 6 courses from: PHIL 305, PHIL 346, PHIL 419, PHIL 421, PHIL 426, PHIL 427, PHIL 451, PHIL 455
