Why did you choose SLU for you graduate degree?

I chose SLU because of the philosophy department’s dual strengths in contemporary analytic philosophy and the history of philosophy, and because of the opportunity to study medieval philosophy and philosophy of religion with Professor Eleonore Stump.

What factors contributed to your experience at SLU?

The excellent faculty; the camaraderie with the other graduate students; the Alexandrian society.

Why would you recommend a student attend SLU?

The department’s strengths in philosophy of religion, medieval philosophy, political philosophy, and epistemology.
