Additional Information:
The Graduate Program in Philosophy at UC Davis is a small collegial and supportive program with a largely analytic orientation. The faculty specialize in a variety of areas, including metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science (especially biology), philosophy of mathematics, philosophical logic, ethics, meta-ethics, political philosophy, history of analytic philosophy, and ancient philosophy. The Program has both M.A. and Ph.D. 'tracks.' Students who aim to complete a Ph.D. should apply directly to the Ph.D. track, even if they have not yet earned an M.A. in Philosophy. Ph.D. students may earn the M.A. in the course of working toward the Ph.D. Students who do not aim to complete a Ph.D. in philosophy should apply for admission to the M.A. track. Students who enroll in the M.A. track may, however, later petition for admission to the Ph.D. track if they so desire.
