We have a minimum of six, funded, graduate assistantships for appropriately qualified students. These will be held in the departments of history or philosophy or in other appropriate departments. Duties will include such work as teaching assistance in courses, research assistance for faculty, and general administration of the history and philosophy of science program.

Students are also eligible to apply for competively funded university fellowships and scholarships. Details on these can be found at the Graduate Studies website

Prospective graduate students must be accepted by both the university and the History & Philosophy of Science program in order to be admitted into a program of studies. There is an online History & Philosophy of Science Program Graduate Admissions Application available for prospective students to complete and submit to the advising staff. The application for admission to the university is also online. Prospective graduate students who wish to apply for a program assistantship will be able to appropriately note this on the Program Application found lower on this page under the History & Philosophy of Science Program Online Application link.

If you have any questions regarding the status of your graduate application please e-mail the Program Director, Michael Ruse.
