Designed as an end-point degree, this master's program welcomes full-time and part-time students. It prepares them to take part in philosophical debate and allows flexible combinations, such as aesthetics with artistic training or political thought.
A concentration in philosophy of science serves students interested in the foundations of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, cognitive science, mathematics, medicine, psychology and economics.
Applicants should have done the equivalent of an undergraduate philosophy major, usually earning a B average or better. Students who minored in philosophy are encouraged to apply.
The degree sits within a graduate community where students work closely with faculty advisors on a plan of study that suits their goals. Prospective applicants should consult the program page and the relevant school admissions pages for current requirements, deadlines and tuition, since those details are not given on the program page.
