M.A. in Philosophy

专业介绍

The graduate program in philosophy is designed to equip students to engage with both perennial and cutting-edge philosophical enquiry. The program is intended to prepare students for college and university positions in philosophy.

The Department of Philosophy offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. in philosophy. Prerequisite for admission to graduate work in the department is a B.A. degree or equivalent, typically with a major in philosophy, with a broad range of courses. Students earn an M.A. as part of the Ph.D. program. For information about graduate student funding, please visit the department’s website.

The department maintains close relations with the Department of Philosophy at Duke University. Graduate students from either institution may register for credit in graduate courses or seminars at the other institution and may include faculty members from either on their dissertation committees. Library facilities are available to students at each institution.
