Graduate
The Philosophy Department offers multiple degree programs with an聽extensive and diverse range of courses every semester. They cover the history and problems of philosophy, allowing for concentration in the following areas: Ancient Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Modern Philosophy, Phenomenology and Contemporary Continental Philosophy, Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Law, Philosophy of Religion, Epistemology, and Philosophy of Science.
Academics & Research
The department is linked to internationally and nationally known research centers such as the Lonergan Institute, and is home to several scholarly journals. Furthermore, each year the department hosts many speakers from the US and abroad (through its own lecture series or consortiums such as the 艾可直播 Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy), and invites a prominent scholar to be the Gadamer Visiting Professor to teach for four to six weeks.
In addition, students may take appropriate graduate level courses in other departments of 艾可直播 College (e.g., Political Science, Theology), and may avail themselves of 艾可直播鈥檚 wider intellectual offerings thanks to 艾可直播 College鈥檚 participation in the 艾可直播 Area Consortium, which allows them to cross register for one course per semester at 艾可直播 University, Tufts University, or Brandeis University. By application, they also can participate in The Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies and in the 艾可直播 Theological Institute.
