The department has particular expertise in philosophy of mind and life sciences philosophy. For details about faculty specializations, visit the department's website. The Philosophy Ph.D. program features two pathways: the Traditional Track and the Sciences Track, with the latter combining scientific study with interdisciplinary dissertation work.
