I. Program Outcomes

Please include in this section your program learning outcomes as they are listed in the P-1 form in eCurriculum. If you are already planning to revise those program learning outcomes, indicate in this section which ones might be changed, and what the new program learning outcomes are likely to be. In general, learning outcomes should be measurable, assessable, or observable in some way and aligned with national standards. At the conclusion of the program, Philosophy doctoral students will be able to:

1) Conduct original philosophical research that conforms to professional standards. 2) Demonstrate familiarity with the important research methods and tools in

contemporary professional philosophy, including formal symbolic logic. 3) Demonstrate general familiarity with a broad range of contemporary and historical

philosophical ideas and figures. 4) Disseminate research results in the form of oral presentations suitable for

professional conferences 5) Demonstrate ability to independently plan and execute a large, original research

project. 6) Teach a college-level philosophy class.

Please include in this section a grid that identifies connections that exist between required courses in this program and the corresponding program-level learning outcomes. In other words: how will program outcomes be met? This grid should further indicate the expected levels of learning at each level (whether emerging, strengthening, or achieved). The CET&L web site includes templates that you might find useful in completed this grid. See Curriculum Mapping Matrix
