Philosophical Gourmet Report

The Philosophical Gourmet Report (also known as the Leiter Report) attempts to score and rank the university philosophy departments in the English-speaking world, based on a survey of philosophers who are nominated as evaluators by the Advisory Board of the Report. Its purpose is to provide a source of guidance to prospective research Ph.D students, particularly those students who intend to pursue a professional career in academic philosophy.
