Philosophy Cluster
The Philosophy departments at Rochester, Syracuse, and Cornell share a long history of mutual interchange and cooperation. Graduate students can and do take courses at each other's campuses through an exchange program. Faculty members occasionally teach in each other's program or sit in on seminars offered on one another's campus. Information about visiting lecturers and conferences is shared among the three programs on their websites, and faculty and graduate students regularly travel to attend events on the other campuses.
All three faculties take an active role in the Creighton Club, a long established regional philosophy organization that has held an important position in bringing the departments together.
The departments have significant long-term commitments to building comprehensive philosophy faculties and doctoral programs in the Anglo-American tradition - all with special strengths in the core field of Metaphysics & Epistemology. In addition, faculty clusters can be found in other areas such as the History of Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy and Classics, Kant and post-Kantian German Philosophy, Ethics & Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Education, and Philosophy of Language.
