The
Department of
Logic and
Philosophy of Science
and the
Department
of Philosophy jointly administer a Ph.D. program in philosophy with
two independent tracks: the Philosophy Track and the LPS Track.
Both tracks
begin from a common core of requirements in standard philosophical
fields
(e.g., history of philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics/epistemology)
and
branch off thereafter; both lead to the Ph.D. in Philosophy. (For
information
on the Philosophy Track, see the
Department
of Philosophy.)
Prospective Students: There are separate and independent application procedures for the two tracks.
Applicants are advised to apply to the department, either LPS or Philosophy, whose
faculty,
areas of specialization, and curriculum correspond best with their
interests.
Students are expected to reside in the same department as their primary
advisor,
but faculty in both departments are available for all other academic purposes
(course work, independent studies, committee membership, etc.).
Most students in LPS are supported with fellowships and/or teaching
assistantships that cover student fees and tuition (for out of
state students) and provide a stipend.
