Thanks @sar1906! No M. A. I only have a bachelor in Philosophy (Master degree in something unrelated). I'm essentially getting back to Philosophy after a somewhat involuntary time away from an academic engagement with it. The thing is, beyond universities' websites, I've been having a hard time finding up to date info on programs which cater to the more continentally inclined. Most rankings and reviews seem to focus on analytical philosophy.

Thanks a lot for your take on this, @nietzxsche! I really appreciate it. Indeed, I agree DePaul has a strong advantage on the faculty factor, given my interests. I was told, however, that Emory provides a stronger institutional platform from which to undertake one's studies. This would be visible, among other things, in better financial support and funds for travelling and further training. I'd love to know a bit more about your AOI and whether you already know to which program you will be going. Anyone else who may also chime in with some advice? I would be vert grateful

Hello to all. I'm finding it very very hard to decide between the philosophy phd programs at Emory and DePaul. I know the decision is multifaceted and ultimately quite personal. I would still very much appreciate getting some opinions and insight (particularly if there is someone out there who knows either program first hand). My main interests center around German Idealism, German Romanticism, Schelling, Heidegger. Any info to feed my considerations and help me make an informed decision will be very appreciated. Which program would you say is better suited to my interests or generally stronger/better regarded?? Thanks!!

Thanks a lot to @AcademicX too. Also a very helpful response to my original post!

Thanks a lot for your very conprehensive response. It really is very helpful. I will definitely check out the link you provide and follow the advice of bearing in mind all the factors that you mention when trying to figure out what place is best for me. Again, thanks s lot.

How about for continental philosophy?? Can anyone provide a bit more info or insight into which programs are the best for that?? I'm particularly interested in information that may be helpful in deciding between DePaul, Emory, Boston College, Stony Brook, and Columbia. Any help?? Thanks a lot!!

Thanks a lot, @philstudent1991 !!

I would very much appreciate opinions on which the best programs for continental philosophy currently are. In particular, any I sight on DePaul and Emory and how the stand up against each other? Thanks!!
