<p>Is there any way I can try to take just the Philosophy course? I really don’t want to take the other two, but I would love to take that one.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the Directed Studies courses are an all-or-nothing deal…</p>
<p>You could take [Phil</a> 125a and 126b](<a href=“Yale Course Search | University Registrar's Office”>Yale Course Search | University Registrar's Office), which apparently covers similar material…</p>
<p>Just look for a similar course. DS is not worth the agony just for one course. Even if you don’t find one your first semester, you’ll find one another time, for sure.</p>
