Graduates of this doctorate go on to research and teaching careers in philosophy. Applicants need the equivalent of a philosophy major and strong grades, and students who minored in the subject are welcome. Part-time study is strongly discouraged.
Students build the conceptual, spoken and written abilities required to investigate questions about truth, goodness and beauty, and they learn the central texts of ancient and modern thought.
The requirement is sixteen graduate courses plus a dissertation workshop, and candidates must make an original contribution to the discipline.
Doctoral students work closely with faculty advisors throughout, moving from structured coursework toward independent scholarship and a final dissertation. Prospective applicants should consult the program page and the relevant school admissions pages for current requirements, deadlines and tuition, since those details are not given on the program page.
