Students will be placed in selected sections of European History I and Ethics as Introduction to Philosophy. In preparation for advanced work in the program, PPP students will take two blocked courses in spring of their first year, combining European History II (HIST 134) with Theory of Knowledge (PHIL 290). COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Fall Semester HIST 133: European History I PHIL 100: Ethics As Introduction to Philosophy Spring Semester HIST 134: European History II PHIL 290: Theory of Knowledge HIST 134 / PHIL 290: This combined course examines the development of modern philosophical ideas in conjunction with contemporaneous historical events.
