The University of New Mexico, based in Albuquerque, NM offers a fully funded PhD in Philosophy. The PhD Degree is a four-to-six-year program requiring forty-eight hours of graduate coursework, of which fifteen must satisfy distribution requirements in the areas of the history of philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, and the theory of knowledge. The UNM Department of Philosophy provides five years of full financial support which may be pro-rated for students who have already completed some graduate work in philosophy. The support may be in the form either of a Philosophy Teaching Assistantship or an English TA-ship. TA-ships carry a stipend of at least $15,600 and a tuition waiver.
