At least three months before the deadline for formal submission of the dissertation, the candidate must submit to the advisory committee a legible draft of the dissertation or a considerable part of it.
With the consent of the committee, the candidate may then go on to prepare a final draft for submission to the department.

Dissertations of more than 75, words ordinarily will not be accepted. If the advisory committee has had only two members, a third must be added to the examining committee.
This committee, if it finds the dissertation sufficiently promising, conducts the final oral examination, in which the dissertation must be adequately defended before its acceptance by the department. The examination is public and may be attended by other members of the department if they wish. The departments of the Classics and Philosophy collaborate in an interdisciplinary PhD program in Classical Philosophy for students registered in either department.
Candidates whose major field is philosophy are expected to take the Proseminar for graduate students in the classics, as well as attend seminars or other courses in classics relevant to their interests.

Language requirements:. Candidates who plan to write a dissertation in Classical Philosophy are expected to have learned at least one of the classical languages Greek or Latin before they are admitted. Depending upon the level of fluency they have reached before entering the program, they may be asked to take additional language or reading courses.
If they have not previously studied the second language, they will be required to reach the level of one year of college coursework. This can be done either by taking courses or by passing a language examination. In addition, candidates will be expected to have acquired a reading knowledge of German sufficient for reading scholarly literature and to pass a departmental examination on a suitably chosen text.
The rules and procedures for the dissertation will, in general, be those established for candidates in philosophy.

Students admitted for the coordinated degrees must begin either with the first full year of law school or the first two years of philosophy; after that they may alternate terms as they choose.
The program in Law may be completed in five terms. The requirements for philosophy are the same as for regular philosophy graduate students. The Department does not admit students for degrees other than the PhD.
Students who have been admitted for the PhD and who have completed all course requirements for the degree may apply to be awarded an AM in Philosophy. Harvard PhD students from programs such as African and African-American Studies which require PhD students to take courses required for an AM in another program are not required to take the first year colloquium required of Philosophy PhDs.
Students from these programs who wish to the take the colloquium must consult with the DGS. Students from these programs who have completed 10 philosophy courses which satisfy the course requirements for a PhD and who have satisfied the distribution requirements for the PhD may apply to be awarded an AM in Philosophy. A student who is pursuing an ad hoc degree administered in part by the Philosophy Department may petition to receive a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy.
To receive this degree the student must have taken a total of 10 courses in Philosophy at the level of or higher. At least two of these courses must satisfy the graduate distribution requirement in metaphysics and epistemology, two must satisfy the practical philosophy distribution requirement, two the history distribution requirement, and one must be a logic course.
All must be passed with a grade of B or better. Students may receive this degree only when the Department has voted to support their petition. Much work in philosophy speaks directly to one or more disciplines which have Harvard PhD programs --literature, physics, statistics, science, mathematics, linguistics, and economics, to name a few. A secondary field in Philosophy gives students from other disciplines an opportunity to step back and look at the big picture in their discipline, putting students from discipline X in a position to do "philosophy of X" as part of doing X, thereby helping them both to understand their field more deeply and to open a path to developing it in innovative ways.
Graduate students may apply to the Philosophy Department to do a secondary field after their first term as a graduate student at Harvard. Secondary field students normally begin the secondary field in the second or third semester at Harvard, normally taking one or two courses a semester until they have completed the secondary field requirements.
Applications must include: a brief statement explaining what the applicant hopes to achieve with the secondary field, including a brief summary of the applicant's background in philosophy; a copy of the undergraduate transcript this can be a copy sent from the student's home department at Harvard and a brief letter from a Harvard faculty member of the student's home department discussing how a secondary field in philosophy would contribute to the student's work in the home department.
One course must be in the area of one of the Department's PhD distribution requirements: moral and political philosophy; metaphysics and epistemology; logic; history of philosophy.
A second course must be in another of these areas. At least one course must be a graduate seminar. In principle, an independent study with a member of the Department may be used to complete the secondary field. A capstone project is not required. Courses are counted towards satisfying the secondary field requirements only when approved to do so by the Philosophy DGS. A student completing a secondary field in philosophy is assigned an advisor from the Philosophy Department, normally the DGS.
