The four-year PhD curriculum caters to students possessing significant graduate-level experience in philosophy (minimum requirement being an MA from a similar institution). The five-year PhD track serves as the direct-entry option for those holding only a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in philosophy. Funding spans four years for the shorter program with one year of required coursework, whereas the extended program offers five years of funding with two years of coursework. Earning a philosophy doctorate involves completing coursework, meeting the Qualifying Requirement, and successfully composing and defending a dissertation.
