Licentiate in Philosophy
1. 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 remedy the deficit through additional 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.
2. Candidates for the Ph.L must either have completed the language requirements for the Ph.B. prior to admission (namely, at least four semesters of Latin and at least two semesters of a modern language other than the student's mother tongue), or fulfill these requirements during their time in the Ph.L. program.
3. 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 demonstrate proficiency in the same modern language.
4. Candidates for the Ph.L. must complete all of the requirements for the M.A. in Philosophy (see above).
