Students may also pursue a supplementary diploma in Value Theory and Applied Ethics or in Neuroscience. Full-time doctoral study is fifteen terms, equivalent to five years. Admission requires a minimum B+ average, a Supplementary Information Form, a resume or CV, a statement of interest, and either a major paper or a chapter from an MA thesis, along with three letters of recommendation.
