Should I major in philosophy?
Graduate study in philosophy
If
you are interested in continuing the study of philosophy in graduate
school, you should try to be as well informed as possible about the
choices. Any member of the department would be happy to advise you
about graduate
school possibilities and opportunities. You are encouraged to talk with
several of us so as to benefit from a variety of perspectives.
There is also a great deal of information available on the web about graduate programs in philosophy, the Philosophical Gourmet Report being perhaps the most notable example. The PGR is a wonderful
resource, but like pretty much everything else, it should be read with
an open but critical mind. See Keith DeRose, For and Against the Use of Rankings to get a sense of some of the issues. |
