MA/MS in Philosophy

The master's in philosophy asks students to think deeply, analytically and independently about how individuals fit within the natural and social worlds. Coursework and mentoring support those preparing for doctoral study or other careers that reward careful reasoning, and the program draws on the department's research strengths. The specific course requirements are set by the academic department that administers the degree, so prospective students should consult that unit for the current plan of study and for advice on choosing electives and any minor. Coursework is based at the Main campus in Tucson. The minimum credit requirement is stated on the program page (30 units), though the actual total can differ with the degree plan and any minors, so applicants should check the Graduate College admission standards before applying.
