PhD in Social Thought in Chicago United States | University of Chicago

Collaboration with the Committee isn't restricted by topic. Any rigorous academic pursuit, grounded in the Fundamentals Examination, leading to an original doctoral thesis, and demanding broader interdisciplinary scope than a single department can offer, may qualify. Typically though, the Committee won't admit students unless it can ensure proper mentorship in their chosen specialization, whether through its own faculty or by involving other university experts. The standard Ph.D. program involves four years of full-time study, though completion often spans six to eight years. Additional program information is available through the left-hand menu options.
