Duquesne University's Philosophy Department focuses on continental philosophy and philosophical history, with a graduate program that pioneered the study of phenomenology and 19th/20th-century European thought in the U.S. As a Ph.D. candidate, you'll delve into post-Kantian European philosophy alongside expert faculty specializing in German idealism, phenomenology, political philosophy, psychoanalysis, structuralism, and poststructuralism. Our program combines this focus with comprehensive historical studies, allowing you to collaborate with scholars across all major philosophical eras—from ancient and medieval to modern thought. Through intensive small-group seminars analyzing original texts and core concepts, we equip you for scholarly independence, preparing you for academic careers or meaningful professional paths beyond the university setting.
