Our Program
Our program emphasizes historical awareness of the perennial problems in philosophy,
as well as an opportunity to pursue focused interests in several specialized areas,
such as philosophy of science, moral philosophy, biomedical ethics, philosophy of
language and linguistics, and ancient and modern history of philosophy, among others.
Our PhD students receive full tuition waivers and stipends, and in recent years have
done well securing competitive university-wide scholarships, which provide additional
support. We encourage students to participate in professional activities, and the
Department and College makes funding available to grad students for traveling to present
at conferences.
In addition to coursework, study, and research, graduate students have the opportunity
to take part in the intellectual community of the Department of Philosophy, attending
colloquia with philosophers from other universities, taking part in the Queen Street Symposium, and participating in various reading groups, for example.
