The Departments of Logic and Philosophy of Science and Philosophy collaborate to offer a Ph.D. program in philosophy featuring two distinct pathways: the Philosophy Track and the LPS Track. Starting with shared foundational coursework in traditional philosophical disciplines (including history of philosophy, logic, ethics, and metaphysics/epistemology), the program then diverges into specialized tracks, both culminating in a Philosophy Ph.D. (Details regarding the Philosophy Track can be found through the Department of Philosophy.)

Qualification Requirements
Applicants for the LPS Track must have a bachelor's degree, but there is no formal requirement as to the field of that degree. The most natural undergraduate majors for LPS graduate students would be philosophy, mathematics, or the sciences, but those with other degrees who are interested in the fields of LPS should feel free to apply.
