Department of Philosophy

The Master's Degree Program in Philosophy has two main goals: (1) to offer students the opportunity to learn more about philosophy and (2) to enable students to apply to top-ranked doctoral programs in philosophy or in other fields.

The program offers students a basic grounding in the major areas of philosophy. Although the program does not offer separate tracks, students can specialize in the particular strengths of the department: metaphysics and epistemology, ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of language, logic, philosophy of mind and cognitive science, history of modern philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy and gender, and philosophy of law.
