<p>This is a no-brainer.</p>
<p>If you want to do Philosophy, NYU is the winner hands down. In fact, if you want to do philosophy, NYU is winner against any other school except maybe Oxford or Princeton. </p>
<p>NYU is the #1 school in the world for philosophy – Above Oxford, Princeton and Rutgers (which make up the ‘big boy’ schools of philosophy). Our philosophy faculty is superb and we are host to a LARGE majority of the world’s most famous philosophers. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. aren’t in the same league as NYU for philosophy – they’re in the league right below us. An easier way of putting this would be like saying NYU is the Harvard for philosophy. </p>
<p>Emory, on the other hand, does not teach analytic philosophy it teaches continental philosophy – even for continental philosophy Emory only ranks in the low 30s and high 40s, if I remember correctly.</p>
