Overview

Graduate work in Philosophy at The University of New Mexico completed prior to entering the Ph.D. program may be counted toward the Ph.D. degree in philosophy at UNM, subject to approval by GAC and to UNM Office of Graduate Studies regulations (see the UNM Catalog).

Key Features

All students, however, must complete the following requirements at UNM: Proseminar (I.D), Qualifying Examination (III.F), Dissertation Prospectus (III. J), Dissertation (III.K), and other requirements specified by the UNM Office of Graduate Studies.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Beginning with the entering class of 1998, all Ph.D. students are required before graduating to teach at least one course independently, which will be observed at least once by a full-time, tenured or tenure-track faculty member who will enter a written evaluation in the student's file, as well as meet with the student to discuss her or his teaching performance.

Normally, teaching an independent course will happen automatically during the course of a student's time here. In the special case of an outside-funded student, the department is committed to giving that student a course to teach during a term decided at the department's discretion (which may be the Summer term).
