Licentiate in Philosophy

Candidates for the Ph.L. must have received the ecclesiastical Bachelor's in Philosophy (Ph.B.) degree or its equivalent from a recognized institution. Where a deficiency in undergraduate philosophy coursework exists, the candidate will be required to complete some undergraduate coursework, according to a plan approved by the Dean; while taking such courses, the candidate may be permitted to take some limited graduate courses in parallel. In exceptional cases, additional graduate coursework may be approved to make up deficits in the candidate’s undergraduate formation.
Candidates for the Ph.L must also have completed the language requirements for the Ph.B. prior to admission, or during their time in the Ph.L. program, namely, at least four semesters of Latin and at least two semesters of a modern language other than the student’s mother-tongue.
In addition, candidates for the Ph.L. must complete at least two-semesters of Greek, or at least two-semesters of a second modern language other than that studied in view of the Ph.B. or its equivalent, or advanced knowledge of the same.
Candidates must complete all of the requirements for the M.A. in Philosophy (see above).
