LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Admissions
|
 |
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.
Applications must include GRE scores, transcripts, letters of recommendation, a writing sample, and a personal statement. (The writing sample need not deal with a topic in logic and /or philosophy of science -- though that is desirable -- but should exhibit the applicant's ability to argue clearly and carefully. The personal statement should explain the applicant's interests and provide any additional information that he or she would like the Department to consider.)
Students can apply online by going to the Office of Research and Graduate Studies and following the instructions there. (The degree code for the LPS Track of the Philosophy Ph.D. is 1448.) Those who prefer to submit a paper application can obtain one from:
The
remarks on this page are only for applicants to the LPS
Track.
Those interested in the Philosophy Track must apply to the Philosophy Department.
Applicants
for the LPS Track must have a bachelor's degree, but
there
is no formal requirement as to the field of that degree. The most
natural
undergraduate majors for LPS graduate students would be philosophy,
mathematics,
or the sciences, but those with other degrees who are interested in the
fields of LPS should feel free to apply. Those interested in the Philosophy Track must apply to the Philosophy Department.
