ㆍThe
master's degrees program began in 1982 and the doctoral program
in 1992. While our curriculum especially focuses on comparative
philosophy, students can choose a major in various regional
items, such as Western Philosophy, Chinese Philosophy, Indian
Philosophy, Korean Philosophy, and various philosophical branches,
such as Epistemology, Metaphysics, Ethics, Social Philosophy,
Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Culture, and so on. These
studies should deepen and develop the students' knowledge
of the major. Our practical mission in the graduate course
is to develop the students' ability to become a professional
educator in all academic platforms which require philosophical
instruction.
1)
At least 24 course units of graduate level credit in Philosophy
courses are required for the master's degree and 36 course
units for the doctor's degree. And also both degrees require
the 3 steps of common thesis research courses during 3 semesters.
2) Students have to pass a qualifying examination (3 subjects
for the master's degree and 4 subjects for the doctorate degree).
3) Students have to pass a foreign language examination. This
is common for master's and doctor's degrees. Students who
