Requirements for Philosophy Graduate Students

These remain the same as the Proficiency Requirements for the Ph.D. in Philosophy with the following exceptions:
  1. the student is exempted from the breadth requirement, and
  2. If the student has already taken two courses in modern philosophy, she need not take a course in modern philosophy to satisfy requirement 1 (a) (2).
One year of Greek is a requirement for admission to the program. If students have had a year of Latin, they are required to take 3 courses in 2nd or 3rd year Greek or Latin (at least one of which must be in Latin). If they have not had a year of Latin, they are then required to (a) complete a year of Latin, and (b) take 2 courses in 2nd or 3rd year Greek or Latin.

Students are also required to take at least 3 courses in Ancient Philosophy at the 200 level or above (one of which must be in the Classics department and two of which must be in the Philosophy department).
