The Department of Philosophy offers graduate degree programs leading to the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees in Philosophy. Admission to either program requires either a bachelor’s degree in philosophy or sufficient course work in philosophy as determined by the department. Applicants to either program are evaluated on the basis of their academic record, GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and a writing sample. Program Information The M.A. degree requires 36 hours of coursework, which can be completed in two years by registering for 9 credits each fall and spring semester. M.A. students who have demonstrated exceptional teaching capabilities may have the chance to teach their own course during the summer after they have completed all course requirements for the degree.
