Most graduate programs in Philosophy have particular strengths (which are associated with the number of faculty working in a specific field), and you should apply to programs that have strengths which correlate with your interests. For instance, if you are interested in studying and researching non-Western Philosophy at the graduate level, then, among other places, you should consider applying to the University of Hawaii. To learn more about the strengths of particular Philosophy programs, consult each program’s web site. Look at the research specialties of different faculty members as well as the areas in which graduate courses are commonly offered. You can also consult the Philosophical Gourmet Report , a ranking of graduate programs in Philosophy (organized and edited by Brian Leiter).
