Admissions
The Admission Committee considers applications for admission to the Ph.D. Graduate Program beginning in mid-December. At that time, financial aid is considered for both new applicants and continuing students. The deadline for application materials (for both domestic and international applicants) is December 15.
U.S. domestic residents (including those educated abroad) submit a domestic application to the Department of Philosophy. The deadline for applications is December 15. International students submit a special International Application for Admission, along with transcripts, reference letters, GRE scores, and TOEFL scores with the Office of International Admissions by December 15. International student applicants may send sample papers and statements of purpose directly to the Department. Please direct all inquiries to Marge Clark (clarkma 
indiana.edu).
Since the Admission Committee exists for only a short time during the spring semester, it does not consider applications at other times during the year. Applications that arrive after the December 15 deadline, and applications that arrive during the summer or the fall semester, will be considered the following spring.
We do not accept applications to our M.A. Program, with the exception of those currently enrolled in another graduate program at Indiana University Bloomington who wish to obtain the M.A. in Philosophy. We do award M.A. degrees to those of our Ph.D. students who qualify for them and apply.
