The department offers a comprehensive program of study leading to the PhD. It combines core and elective seminars with more advanced, supervised study and encourages continued study of a particular science outside the department. All periods of the history of science are supported, including ancient, and 16th century to present science; as is work in general philosophy of science (confirmation, explanation, realism, scientific change, etc.) and in the philosophy of particular sciences (biology, physics, psychology, cognitive science, social sciences, etc.).
