MA/MS in Philosophy

The University of Louisville offers the Master of Arts in Applied Philosophy through its academic units. Students choose a health care ethics track or a practical and applied philosophy track, including an internship in the former. Coursework and degree requirements are laid out in the university's academic catalog, which students use to plan their studies with an advisor. The catalog entry lists the required courses and outlines how the program fits within the wider college or graduate school. Advisors help students sequence courses sensibly across terms and keep progress on schedule. Applicants submit transcripts, recommendations, a resume, a personal statement and a writing sample; the writing sample is waived for those already admitted to a medical fellowship or a doctoral program. Prospective students should consult the catalog and the responsible department for current details on application steps, deadlines and expectations, since requirements can change from one catalog year to the next.
