TO
PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS:
Thank you for
your interest in our Ph.D. program in philosophy here at Yale University.
Applying
To access online
applications, see the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences admissions
page.
Completed
applications, including all supporting materials, must be received by the
Graduate School by 2 January. The
application fee is $85.00.
The GRE General
Test is required of all applicants to the Department of Philosophy. In
order for the office to receive scores on time, the GRE should be taken
by October.
Financial Aid
Students are
normally given at least five years of full support -- tuition, plus
stipend, plus health care -- in the form of non-teaching fellowships for
the first two years and the fifth (or sixth) year, and teaching
fellowships for the third and fourth year. For 2007-08, the stipend is
$20,000 for both teaching and non-teaching fellowships. In the past five
years, the stipends have increased every year for both incoming and
current students. This great mix of teaching and non-teaching fellowships
allows students to get the teaching experience they need to prepare them
for teaching careers, while also providing for much time where the
student is not teaching, and so can devote herself more completely to her
own research. All students will also receive a stipend of $3,700 in three
out of five summers for summer study (providing they have a legitimate
request for this funding), with additional funding available on a competitive
basis after the third year.
