哲学哲学博士

宾夕法尼亚州立大学的哲学研究生课程竞争激烈。但是，本系致力于全额资助它招收的所有学生进入博士学位。关于入学以及助学金和研究金的授予的决定是在对申请人提交的证书进行仔细比较评估的基础上做出的。这些证书必须表明候选人在以前的研究中做得很好，并且有能力成功完成宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究生课程。申请者通常拥有哲学专业的本科专业，但这不是必需的，如果他们的工作通常能证明他们具有很高的智力水平，则可以招收有限的哲学专业的本科生。
The Graduate Program in Philosophy at Penn State is highly competitive. However, the Department is committed to fully funding every student it accepts through to the PhD. Decisions about admissions and the awarding of assistantships and fellowships are made on the basis of careful comparative evaluation of the credentials submitted by the applicants. These credentials must show that the candidates have done superior work in their previous studies, and that they have the capacity to complete successfully a program of graduate work at Penn State. Applicants typically have had an undergraduate major in philosophy, but this is not required, students may be admitted with limited undergraduate work in philosophy if their work generally gives evidence of high intellectual ability.
