/* Philosophy of Biology Graduate Programs */
However, while this site may be where your research into programs starts, it decidedly should not be where it ends. You need to dig around and do your due diligence&mdash;e.g., contact people within the programs<ref>This site is not in the business of giving prospective students advice&mdash;on how to select programs or anything else&mdash;but it can be very helpful and illuminating to contact graduate students currently enrolled in departments you are considering and asking if they would be willing to share their impressions of and experience in the programs. The worst that can happen is that they say 'no'. Of course, what they share must be taken with a grain of salt since everyone's experiences differ, and disgruntled students will paint a radically different picture than contented ones. For that reason, seeking out multiple sources can be worthwhile.</ref>&mdash;in order to put yourself in the best possible position to make an informed decision about where to apply. The [http://www.apaonline.org/ American Philosophical Association], for instance, provides a useful [http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.apaonline.org/resource/resmgr/Grad_guide/gg14_complete.pdf Guide to Graduate Programs] that is worth consulting. Good luck!
 
== Standards, Practices, and Guidelines ==
 
# The criterion for program inclusion is just that a philosophy (or HPS) program have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.
# The standard of evidence required to make the list is an official (or personal) university-affiliated website&mdash;or a publicly-accessible CV&mdash;that lists philosophy of biology as a primary research interest.
# Philosophers who have made contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as an AOS/AOC are usually not listed.
# Affiliated, part-time, and emeritus faculty who work closely with graduate students should be labelled as such inside parentheses next to their names.
# Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, philosophy of medicine, and history of biology&mdash;in and of themselves&mdash;are not counted as philosophy of biology.
