The Group in Logic and the Methodology of Science provides an interdisciplinary PhD program focused on advanced study and research. Participants gain deep knowledge of Mathematical Logic, a field that rigorously examines fundamental concepts like truth, definability, provability, and computability. Students can pursue theoretical contributions or practical applications across mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and other disciplines.

This program is managed by an interdepartmental team working in collaboration with the Computer Science Division, Mathematics Department, and Philosophy Department.

Qualification Requirements

The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division:

A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution,
A grade point average of B or better (3.0),
If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these), and
Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field. Transcripts: Applicants may upload unofficial transcripts with your application for the departmental initial review. If the applicant is admitted, then official transcripts of all college-level work will be required. Letters of recommendation: Applicants may request online letters of recommendation through the online application system. Hard copies of recommendation letters must be sent directly to the program, not the Graduate Division. For admission to the graduate program, students must have completed an undergraduate major in philosophy, mathematics, science, or some related field. Their course of study should include at least one full year of upper division logic, one full year of upper division mathematics other than logic, one full year of upper division philosophy, and one upper division course in some science. Exceptions to these requirements are permitted at the discretion of the graduate adviser.
