Overview

The Philosophy and Theology program at Boston College is designed to serve graduate students (i.e., any student already in possession of the BA or equivalent) in need of further work in philosophy or theology in order to enhance preparation for doctoral programs, wishing to complete their preparation for secondary school teaching, or simply interested in further intellectual enrichment.

Features

The established concentrations are “Ethics,” "Faith, Philosophy, and Science," "Foundations in Philosophy and Theology" and "Medieval Thought," and "Philosophy and Religions" (i.e., non-Christian religions).

The Boston College department of Philosophy is committed to the study of the great works of the history of philosophy, close engagement with the important questions and problems to be found both there and in contemporary culture, and a pluralistic approach. The department is especially well known for global prominence in the phenomenological, hermeneutical and post-structural work of continental European thinkers, but also includes excellence in Anglo-American and analytic philosophy of language, ethics, and science.
