In our Master of Arts in Philosophy program, students will study a broad range of general areas of philosophy as well as topics within contemporary philosophy driven by our faculty members' ongoing research. Students work with a faculty advisor to decide which track and plan will best suit their career goals and to develop a course plan. Both a General Philosophy track and an Ethics, Law and Politics track is offered, each with a thesis and non-thesis option.<br>The program requires the student to fulfill specified coursework over the course of the student's degree. Students have two plan options to complete the M.A. degree, and the number of credits required depends on the track the student takes to complete the degree. Students should discuss with their advisor which track and plan is appropriate for them given their academic and career objectives.<br>Students will be able to: demonstrate knowledge of the intellectual traditions of philosophy, argue and interpret,<br>develop critical and creative intellectual capacities.
