The HPS program at the University of Texas at Austin is an inter-disciplinary graduate program drawing faculty from Architecture, History, Integrative Biology, Philosophy, Physics and Psychology among other departments. Its aim is to promote research in the history and philosophy of science that freely crosses departmental boundaries and exploits multiple perspectives. Faculty interests include formal epistemology, the history and philosophy of biology, mathematics and physics, formal and philosophical aspects of logic, philosophy of the social sciences, and the history of the philosophy of science. The program sponsors a series of lunch time seminars every semester; speakers are drawn from a wide variety of interests in the sciences. It also sponsors occasional conferences. The program hosts visitors for short periods of time. Faculty members often have ongoing collaborative research projects with local industry. A new project of the program is to maintain extensive online annotated bibliographies on various topics in the history and philosophy of biology.

Graduate students in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin may choose to specialize in the history and philosophy of science by satisfying a set of additional requirements beyond the ones for the M. A. and Ph. D. degrees in philosophy. Both graduate students and undergraduates are involved in research with faculty members in the program.
