Baylor University launched its PhD program in philosophy during the 2001-2002 academic year. This marked the discontinuation of fellowship support for the terminal MA degree, which had been available since 1950. Baylor's PhD graduates have secured positions at institutions including Biola University, Georgetown College, Georgetown University, Houston Baptist University, Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary, and West Georgia State University. The program typically enrolls 3-6 new doctoral candidates annually. Baylor is gaining recognition for the exceptional camaraderie among its philosophy PhD students. Graduate students frequently present at American Philosophical Association gatherings and other academic conferences, with recent publications appearing in prestigious journals such as Faith and Philosophy, History of Philosophy Quarterly, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy East and West, Res Philosophica, Synthese, and Religious Studies.
