re: Doctoral Program in Philosophy-Psychology-Neuroscience



       First Announcement of a New Doctoral Programme in


             PHILOSOPHY-NEUROSCIENCE-PSYCHOLOGY

                             at

             Washington University in St. Louis



The Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology (PNP) program
offers a unique opportunity to combine advanced
philosophical studies with in-depth work in Neuroscience
or Psychology. In addition to meeting the usual requirements for
a Doctorate in Philosophy, students will spend one year working in
Neuroscience or Psychology. The Neuroscience option will draw
on the resources of the Washington University
School of Medicine which is an internationally acknowledged
center of excellence in neuroscientific research. The
initiative will also employ several new PNP related Philosophy faculty
and post-doctoral fellows.


Students admitted to the PNP program will embark
upon a five-year course of study designed to fulfill all the
requirements for the Ph.D. in philosophy, including an
academic year studying neuroscience at Washington
University's School of Medicine or psychology in the
Department of Psychology.  Finally, each PNP student will
write a dissertation jointly directed by a philosopher and a
faculty member from either the medical school or the
psychology department.
