to see what courses are offered this year, and what are some of the courses which will be offered next year. As you can see, there’s a great selection. The professor:major ration in the department is almost 1:1. Most Philosophy courses are small and all are discussion-based. Philo 101 and 102 are both capped at 19 students and I’d say the average upper level course size is 12. There are only three courses offered in the department which have caps higher than 20, and two out of three of them have expected class sizes of under 30 (out of about thirty courses total). There do not tend to be very many majors, so if you’re considering being a Philo major you will basically be able to get into any class you want. The professors in the department are all pretty amazing, but that’s not really unusual for a Williams department–you’ll have people in every major claiming that their dpt has the best professor or two in the school. The department also offers several tutorials which are ideal formats for pursuing philosophy. Also–if you’re interested in going abroad, Williams has a well-established program with Oxford which has one of the best Philo departments in the world.</p>
