Entry requirements

Admission to the PhD program in philosophy is restricted to students who hold an MA in philosophy or an equivalent degree.

Deadlines To be given full consideration for admission and funding, all applicants are asked to apply by February 1.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
