Philosophy and the Life Sciences at Cincinnati

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.
