Our doctoral program is small, but extremely successful. The great majority (about 85%) of our PhD graduates have received tenure-track appointments or other jobs for which their qualifications were considered essential.

A PhD in Philosophy can lead to careers as a university professor, research scholar, ethicist, consultant, or policy analyst, offering opportunities to contribute to academia, public discourse, and ethical decision-making.
