Philosophy
Program Overview
The Department of Philosophy offers two degree programs, Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.
Students may also be interested in the combined degree program in Law, Juris Doctor / Philosophy, Doctor of Philosophy (JD/PhD), which enables students to pursue work at the intersection of philosophy and law and to complete both the PhD and the JD programs in a shorter time than it would take to complete the degrees separately.
Applicants should consult the department’s website for complete details of graduate programs, course offerings, and short academic profiles of the graduate faculty.
