The Department offers the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Requirements for these degrees are given in the General
Information section of this catalog.
Admission to the program requires a bachelor’s degree in philosophy
or sufficient course work in philosophy, as determined by the
department. Applicants are evaluated on the basis of academic
achievement, GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, a
statement of purpose, and a sample essay in philosophy. Students
may be admitted as for a terminal M.A. degree or for the Ph.D.
Program.
The M.A. degree requires two years of course work. All graduate
students take foundational courses in their first four semesters in
Philosophical Methods (PHI 5935), The History of Philosophy (PHH
5405 or PHH 5406; PHP 5005 or PHP 5015), Logic (PHI 5135), and
Analytic Philosophy (PHP 5785) or Epistemology (PHI 5365). One
research seminar is required for the M.A. and six for the Ph.D. In
addition to the foundational courses required for the M.A., the Ph.D.
requires a course in ethics (PHI 5665) and both PHP 5785 and PHI
5365.
