The GRE is required for all students. GRE scores are valid for five years from the test date. For students accepted into the Department of Philosophy, the average GRE scores since August 2011 with the revised GRE Exam have been: 162 Verbal Reasoning, 154 Quantitative Reasoning, and 46 Analytical Writing. For GRE Exams taken prior to August 2011 scores have been 660 Verbal Reasoning, 710 Quantitative Reasoning, and 5.4 Analytical Writing. The Department of Philosophy takes the following factors into account in the review of applications: the philosophical potential displayed in the articulation and breadth of the writing samples, letters of recommendation, undergraduate record, and GRE scores. All applications are reviewed together shortly after the deadline. Decisions are made mid-March and notification begins late March. The department receives 95-125 applications and typically has 5–10 openings for new students each year. Some international students may be required to spend up to three additional quarters improving their English writing and speaking skills, in addition to developing Philosophical preparation. Students who do not have adequate preparation in Western Philosophy may be required to take Ancient Philosophy (320), Modern Philosophy (322), Contemporary Philosophy (326), and Introduction to Symbolic Logic (120). Graduate credit will not normally be given for these remedial courses.
