<p>I was hoping that someone could help me with a question on the philosophy department. I have heard it is one of the best from friends at U of Chicago but in what areas does it really excell. I am more interested in post-modern thought and was hoping that it was one of the better areas taught at NYU. Any ideas or opinions would be great.</p>
<p>The philosophy department at NYU is very strong across the board. Overall, its considered number #1 by many (Princeton is very strong as well). Speciality wise, its almost always top 5 in the overwhelming majority of areas.</p>
