Top 50 Philosophy Ph.D. programs in the U.S. for 2024-25

MOVING TO FRONT FROM NOVEMBER 13, FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE MISSED IT

Below the fold are the top 50 U.S. programs, listing their rounded mean score, based on the recently completed survey of more than 200 philosophers in the Anglophone world.  (The scoring scale went from 0 [inadequate for a Ph.D. program] to 5 [distinguished].)   Full results (including median and mode scores) will appear at the PGR URL, perhaps before Thanksgiving, almost certainly in the first week of December.    I'll have the results for Canada, the U.K., and Australasia later this week as well as some of the specialty ranking results later this week and continuing into next week.  My thanks to Professors Pynes and Kar for all this!
