The Graduate Program

 

The principal goal of the graduate program is to produce philosophers of high quality, thinkers informed by the great historical traditions of Western philosophers who can apply the methods of philosophical analysis to a broad range of current philosophical problems. Since most of its graduate students hope to teach at the college or university level, the department is also committed to training clear, able, and stimulating teachers. UCLA offers a joint JD/PhD Program.
