Ringkasan program

The features of the doctoral program, including its administration, the ongoing activities of the students, all formal requirements, the special milestones, are numerous. In this section, they are briefly outlined, in a systematic way, so that one can grasp the general structure of the program. In the following section, they are elaborated in greater detail. Orientation--the two- or three-day long period immediately preceding (and sometimes also overlapping with) registration each fall, during which orientation and advising activities occur. Advising--the Graduate Student Advisor helps each student plan and carry out an individualized program of study. About midway in the student's graduate program, the faculty member who is likely to become the student's dissertation director takes over most advising responsibilities. Course distribution requirement--a set of required basic courses, suited to a given student's personal needs, consisting of no fewer than 24 credit hours nor more than 36 credit hours of work. # Logic Requirement--an exam is administered once a year. Students may attempt to pass this exam no more than three times. Students can also complete this requirement through successful completion of a one-semester course in logic. Foreign language requirement--passing a two-hour-long examination in French, German, or Greek or passing a two-semester course in French, German, or Greek. The pro-seminar--each fall a seminar is offered for all and only first year students which emphasizes skills of philosophical writing. Qualifying paper requirement--the centerpiece requirement of a PhD program prior to the doctoral dissertation itself. Three high-quality papers in philosophy are to be submitted to and passed by the faculty. Courses and the course requirement--by the conclusion of a student's doctoral program, he or she must have completed at least 48 credit hours of enrollments in courses, seminars, tutorials and independent study. Seminars and the seminar requirement--fulfilled by satisfactory completion of at least three graduate seminars (included within the 48 credit hours for courses). Admission to formal candidacy--a milestone reached on completion of all the aforementioned requirements.
