Philosophy and the Life Sciences at Cincinnati[edit]

The PhD track in Philosophy and the Life Sciences approaches its subject matter by putting the science in the driver’s seat. Students on this track are not only expected to cultivate a broad philosophical background, but also a competence in the science in which they intend to specialize (some pursue and MS). Students can also expect considerable attention to be paid to professional development of research and teaching.

NB: The Philosophy Department at the University of Cincinnati also offers a "traditional track" to a philosophy PhD, and graduate students need not decide whether to pursue the traditional track or the Philosophy and the Life Sciences track until their first or second year of study.
