Overview
The graduate units listed above participate in the
Collaborative Program in Ancient and Medieval
Philosophy. The three units contribute courses and
provide facilities and supervision of doctoral research. The
program operates only at the doctoral level. The program
is administered by a program committee, which is drawn
from all three units and is chaired by the Director, who is a
member of the committee.
Students who wish to enrol in the collaborative program
must apply to and be admitted to both the doctoral
program in one of the collaborating departments and the
collaborative program. Upon successful completion of the
doctoral degree requirements of the participating home
department and the collaborative program, students
receive the notation “Completed Collaborative Program in
Ancient and Medieval Philosophy” on their transcript and
parchment.
Interested students should contact the Director and the
Graduate Coordinator of the unit in which they intend to
register.
