Graduate Programs

The Master of Arts in Philosophy is consistently among the highest-ranked of its kind in the United States. It has an established record of placing its students in strong PhD programs in philosophy. Our program is ideal for students whose undergraduate preparation might not qualify them for a competitive doctoral program. We also have a record of placing our students in competitive law and JD/PhD programs. The master's is designed to be finished in two years, but some students elect to stay a third year.
