    Hi,
    Find below the eligibility criteria to pursue Phd in Philosophy from universities in US:
    1. Master's degree in same or relevant field.
    2. High scores in English Language examinations like TOEFL or IELTS.
    3. Internships or other work experience will add to your qualifications
    Please note that the eligibility criteria for admission may differ from university to university.
    So as per your query I would suggest you to:
    - Shortlist the universities where you wish to pursue Phd.
    - Once shortlisted you may then contact the admission department of these universities, either through email or phone to know the exact eligibility criteria for admissio
