What is the Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) degree?
The BPhil is a special degree awarded by the UHC. (The BPhil is the degree title and not related to the academic discipline of philosophy.) Students qualify for the degree by completing an academic program of unusual breadth and by performing independent research and scholarship culminating in a written thesis document that is presented publically and defended before a faculty examining committee. This experience resembles graduate level work in certain respects.
