Philosophy

项目介绍

The Ph.D. program is designed to be completed in five years. Accordingly, students in the program are typically guaranteed full financial support for five years, and often can be funded for a sixth year. The Sage School does not offer a terminal master’s degree.

Years 1-2

Coursework: Students are normally required to complete 12 courses covering a broad range of philosophical subfields. To meet this requirement, students enroll for credit in at least three courses per semester for the four semesters constituting their first two years in the program.     

Year 3

Fifth-semester tutorial and A exam: Students spend the third year preparing for the A exam, an oral exam based on the student’s formal dissertation prospectus and work preparatory for writing the dissertation. Students spend the first semester of the third year (their fifth semester overall) pursuing an individualized tutorial with relevant faculty. The fifth-semester tutorial is the mechanism by which students identify a dissertation area and begin the research necessary for articulating, focusing, and launching a dissertation project. 

Years 4-5

Dissertation and B exam: Students spend their fourth and fifth years in the program writing the dissertation. The B exam is the oral defense of the completed dissertation. The Ph.D. is awarded on successful completion of the B exam and the submission of the completed dissertation.      

Summers

There are no formal academic obligations during summers. The typical funding package provides summer stipends for four summers (for more information see FUNDING). This summer funding is intended to free students to pursue their academic work or research. Supplemental funding is usually available to support summer language study or other specialized coursework.
