SexandtheHaecceity Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Hey guys, just a quick question. There are a few classes outside of the philosophy department where I did substantive work in philosophy. One of them should very obviously be counted as it was taught by a philosophy professor and even contains "philosophy of" in the title. The other two might be more borderline, but one was entirely a political theory class where we read Enlightenment political philosophers, and the other spent several weeks reading and writing about Foucault. In what element of my application should I be letting adcomms know to count or consider counting these classes?
goldenstardust11 Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Some applications ask for "related coursework" so I put those there. Otherwise, I uploaded an annotated transcript in addition to the regular one, but only because my undergrad degree was a bit unconventional in its approach. If you're including your phil courses on your CV or something, you could always asterisk non-phil, but related one? with a brief account of the authors you read or any major paper you wrote for it. That's the kind of thing I did for the annotated transcript (in addition to the official one, of course).
maxhgns Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Yeah, the transcript. If it seems especially important, then you can mention it on the cover letter. But otherwise, the transcript is the place for it. They do skim those.
