Congratulations, Dayna!

One of our former students, Dayna Cocanour, has been accepted into the graduate program at the University for Peace. We wish her well.

Philosophers

Have you ever wanted reliable information about a philosopher, perhaps for a course you're taking? See here. Today, for example, I discussed John Rawls in my Ethics courses. If you're intrigued by Rawls and want to learn more about him or his work, find his name on the list, click it, and read away!

Addendum: If you find the site useful, either bookmark it or come back here when you need it. I will add the link to the sidebar as soon as I save this post.

Cooperative Philosophy Ph.D. Program with UNT Approved

We are now the proud co-owners of a Ph.D. program in philosophy, with the Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies at the University of North Texas. Our Ph.D. program proposal was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in Austin, on Thursday.

The program is a cooperative one between UNT and the Philosophy Program at UTA, drawing upon the expertise of the faculty of both institutions. Students apply for admission to the Ph.D. program through the degree-granting institution, UNT. Upon admission, students are able to register for graduate courses at either participating institution and to make use of the academic resources available at either institution. Students are required to complete a minimum of 15 graduate semester credit hours at each participating institution.

For more information, contact Gene Hargrove at the University of North Texas.
