Program Strengths
Our course offerings include Analytic, Continental, Feminist, and Asian philosophy. Many of our faculty have active research programs focused on matters of social justice, science, the environment, and non-Western philosophy, and our courses reflect these research programs. We maintain an active speaker series, bringing other professional philosophers to campus on a regular basis. Our program offers flexibility in a student's capstone experience (Thesis, Project, etc.), allowing students to tailor their MA to their interests and needs.
