The United States has superior geographical conditions and relatively suitable climate, which is the favorite place for many international students. What about the philosophy major at Princeton University? Dear, I'm here to sort out the general situation of philosophy major in Princeton University for you. Welcome to reading.

I. Professional overview

Princeton University provides accommodation for graduate students, which makes the graduate education in Princeton University even better. Small class seminars (generally 5- 15 students) are offered for philosophy graduate students, so that students have sufficient opportunities to consult their teachers. Every year, 40 philosophy graduate students live on campus, and the teacher-student ratio is about 1:2.

This major does not accept applications from students who want to eventually get a master's degree in arts, but only students who seek to pursue a doctorate. The academic system is generally 4 or 5 years. The first four semesters of postgraduate study are usually formal courses and independent research. After the end of the fifth semester, students must take a unified examination. Students who pass this exam mean that they have the ability to be scholars and continue to write doctoral thesis.

As a doctor of philosophy, after graduation, I can teach in universities, some vocational research institutions, publishing houses, periodicals and magazines, as well as government agencies and civil servants.
