Because of a cooperative
arrangement between the three universities, students enrolled at any university
may register in courses at the others. Students may enroll in one of the
following Departments:
Classics, Northwestern
University
Philosophy, Northwestern University
Classics, University of Chicago
Philosophy, University of Chicago
Philosophy, University of Illinois at Chicago
There are regularly scheduled workshops, reading groups focusing on Greek and Latin texts, and visiting speakers in ancient philosophy on the participating campuses; students are welcome to attend gatherings at all the institutions. In addition, at Joint Meetings of all consortium members interspersed throughout the year, faculty present their work in progress. The consortium also organizes conferences in
ancient Greek or Roman philosophy every other year; advanced graduate
students in the Consortium are sometimes invited to be respondents at the conference. Finally, students working on their dissertations are
welcome to work with members of the other institutions; click here for
the list of faculty in the Consortium.
Students interested in graduate study in ancient philosophy in Chicago
should apply to the particular PhD programs they are interested in;
there is no one common admission procedure. For information about the
application procedure, or to apply on-line, please go to the websites
of the particular programs you are interested in applying to.
Students may indicate their interest in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy
when applying for admission to any of the universities or at any time
in their graduate career. Some prior training in philosophy and in Greek
or Latin is desirable. As a rule, however, standards for admission to
the PhD programs are not different for students who indicate an interest
in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and for those who do not.
While specializing in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy in the original
languages, students will satisfy the Ph.D. requirements of their own
department. Whether any particular course inside or outside the home
institution will count towards the course requirements of the PhD depends
on the particular distribution requirements of that PhD program; students
should consult the Director of Graduate Studies of their home institution.
(For example, no PhD program allows students to take only courses in
ancient philosophy, and most require students to take a certain number
of courses at the home institution.) Students who are writing PhD dissertations
are welcome to work with faculty members of the Consortium who are not
at their own institution, and may arrange for those faculty members
to be on their thesis advisory committees. The Ph.D. degree will be
conferred by the university in which the student is enrolled.
For more information about the program, please write to any one of the
faculty listed on the Faculty page or to
the program coordinator.
