The Department offers a Doctor of Philosophy program which is strong in the analytical tradition. Areas of specialization include the history of philosophy, ethics (especially metaethics), metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and the philosophy of mathematics and logic. A large number of seminars are offered each year in these different areas. Most graduate course work takes the form of seminars that are used to satisfy Course Number and Distribution Requirements. Beginning students are required to take a First-Year Seminar which is an intensive introduction to a topic and is usually taught by two faculty members.The William H. Fink Prize for the outstanding graduate student essay in philosophy is awarded annually.
