Overview
The Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science will host a five-day Summer Program for students from underrepresented groups who plan to undertake graduate study in logic and/or philosophy of science. The program provides applicants with graduate seminars on central topics in logic and philosophy of science, advice on applying to graduate programs, and information on life as a graduate student.
The 2025 program will take place at the University of California, Irvine on August 11–15th, 2025. Those who attend will be provided with room and board, plus reimbursement for transportation (up to $500).
Eligibility
This program is designed for students who are interested in graduate study in logic and/or philosophy of science. A main aim of the program is to introduce pre-PhD students who might not otherwise have access to similar mentorship opportunities at their home institutions with more information about philosophy, logic, and philosophy of science. We also note that, while some background in logic or philosophy of science may be helpful, it is not a prerequisite for this program.
Application Process
Applicants to the program should submit the following materials by email to lps@uci.edu:
- A cover letter that describes your goals in logic and/or philosophy of science and explains your fit with the program.
- A CV (including your University affiliation, major, GPA, awards, and any logic or philosophy courses you have undertaken).
- A brief writing sample (less than 2,000 words).
- One letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is familiar with your work and who is able to attest to your suitability for the program.
The deadline for applications to the 2025 program is April 17th, 2025.
