I'm interested in getting a Ph.D in Political Philosophy or History. Please cite any programs not infected by postmoderism and all the rest of it. A Catholic university is preferred.

My best recommendation would be Catholic University followed closely by Notre Dame.

Jackson,

As someone who has just started their Ph.D. in History, I can tell you that there are going to be very few programs not infected with postmodernism, especially in History. I am not saying this to cause you to lose hope, but rather to encourage you to seek out a program with a good reputation, or one that fits you the best. Once you are in, take the postmodernism in stride and attempt to guide your studies into areas that you are comfortable with, which is what I try to do. Just bear it and get the degree and then seek out the great conservative schools for jobs. I would highly recommend the two schools named, as they are solid. Best of luck in your studies and work hard.

INsage, I'm wary of Notre Dame. To see why, go to this page, scroll down towards the bottom, and click the link:

As for CUA, I'll look into it. Thanks.

Thanks Daniel. I'm afraid this is probably how it's going to have to be. The schools I'm most interested in - e.g., Thomas Aquinas College or Christendom College - don't offer PhDs. grr...
