F3.4 Candidate in Philosophy Degree

Updated: April 29th, 2011

Departments who are approved to offer the Candidate in Philosophy (C.Phil.) degree may recommend students for the C.Phil. each semester. Nominated students must 1) already be advanced to candidacy; 2) be candidates in good standing; 3) be eligible for the Ph.D. upon completion of an acceptable doctoral dissertation; 4) possess the intellectual capacity to complete the requirements for the doctorate, according to Academic Senate regulations; and 5)  planning to file for the doctorate during a subsequent semester. The list of students recommended should be sent to the Graduate Services Degrees Unit no later than the end of the fifth week of instruction for the semester in which the degree is to be conferred. The form must include the student’s name, SID, and major, and be signed by the Head Graduate Adviser of the program.  If faculty have any doubts about whether or not a student can complete the requirements, they should not recommend the student for the Candidate in Philosophy degree.
