The Philosophy Department, one of the nation's largest, was recently ranked among the top twenty programs in the United States, based on a survey of over 200 philosophers conducted by the Philosophical Gourmet Report. The Department's national standing has improved, and, thanks to strong administrative support for additional hiring in the near future, the Department seeks to establish itself firmly among the nation's very best programs. The Department is ranked highly in ancient philosophy, history of analytic philosophy, metaethics, philosophy of language, logic, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of science.
