Master of Arts in Philosophy
Program Overview
Philosophy is an ancient discipline. It pursues systematic rational inquiry into human experience and the broader world. Its main subfields include: ethics, the study of what to do and how to live; metaphysics, the study of the nature of the world; and epistemology, the study of knowledge and understanding of the world. The history of philosophy is also an important subfield. Philosophy pursues its questions with a variety of methods. These have at their core commitment to precise, clear, and careful explanation, argument, and analysis; to the refusal of dogmatism; to ongoing openness to criticism; and to the production of a systematic and accurate view of both ourselves and the world in which we live. The serious study of philosophy broadens intellectual horizons. An MA in philosophy also prepares students to apply to a top philosophy PhD program or for a career as a teacher or an ethics consultant.
- Thesis Option. This option includes a substantial independent research project that is conducted with guidance and supervision by a committee of faculty. The option is open to all philosophy MA students, and is especially recommended for those who intend to go on to pursue a PhD in philosophy.
- Coursework Only Option with Comprehensive Exam. This option is open to all philosophy MA students, but it is not recommended for those who intend to go on to pursue a PhD in philosophy. It is suitable for those seeking a broad philosophical education, without ambition to become an academic researcher.
