Welcome to
the website
of the Graduate Program in Social, Political, Ethical and Legal
Philosophy at Binghamton University, State University of New York. The
SPEL Program is an innovative new approach to graduate study in
philosophy. Students in the program receive a traditional education in
philosophy and its major sub-fields while also concentrating and
specializing in areas of social, political, ethical, and/or legal
philosophy - and in particular in special topics and projects at the
intersection of two or more of these areas. Students interested in
areas of ethics (including applied ethics), classical and contemporary
social and political philosophy, or legal theory will find the faculty
and courses in the SPEL program particularly attractive. The SPEL
program is strong in both the Anglo-American (analytic) and Continental
(European) traditions, and trains students to be conversant in both.
The SPEL program offers a terminal M.A. and a Ph.D.. The M.A. is often
pursued by students who are interested in postgraduate work in law,
business, or public policy. The Ph.D. prepares students for a
specialization in the most sought-after and fastest-growing areas in
contemporary philosophy in colleges and universities. The Philosophy
Department has an aggressive and highly successful program in
professional development and placement.
We invite you to take a few moments to review our program and faculty,
and other facilities and programs on the Binghamton University campus.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
