The PhD in Philosophy takes up basic questions about reality and humanity's position within it, with branches including metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and political philosophy. The program treats the history of philosophy, across many cultures, as part of the discipline.
The degree requires 72 credits, of which up to 20 may be dissertation research. Basic coursework is typically taken as 4-credit courses, and a third-year review preparation course supports students approaching that milestone. A seminar for first-year doctoral students stresses discussion and frequent short writing assignments over lecture.
Prospective doctoral students can consult the university bulletin page for the full list of requirements, the structure of coursework and research, and the application steps set by the school. Faculty advisers guide students through examinations, research training and the dissertation as they prepare for careers in research and teaching.
