Prospective Students
Admissions
Students are admitted to the History of Consciousness on the basis of their ability to do sustained, independent, doctoral-quality, interdisciplinary work.
The History of Consciousness Department encourages applicants with well-articulated, focused projects and a clear idea of how to go about the initial investigation. The Statement of Purpose needs to detail an intellectual project or domain of study in sufficient depth to allow our admissions committee to determine whether we have the faculty resources to support and guide your work. The History of Consciousness values applicants who propose interdisciplinary research that matches the expertise of the faculty.
