<p>The professors tend to be okay to good. The GSIs vary from eh to good. The grading is pretty tough. You can work hard and get a B. Few As are given, some A-s. The classes are, in general, too big for my tastes.</p>
<p>You will have to read a lot of dense material, ideally rereading it. You will have to write a lot, too. Not as much as some majors, but it will be more dense and difficult.</p>
<p>If you really excel, the professors and graduate seminars are there to take you to the highest levels. The top applicants get into the top programs for philosophy every year.</p>
