Program Strengths:
In addition to the strengths of the UA Philosophy PhD program listed above, the department offers both an Accelerated MA and a Standard MA in Philosophy. The accelerated program allows a UArizona senior to complete the MA in one additional year.
Program Strengths:
The University of Arizona Philosophy Department is ranked 22nd in the US. Our political philosophy program, with its connections to both economics and law, is ranked first among all English-speaking Universities. We also have significant strengths in ethics, metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of mind and cognitive science, the history of modern philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of language, logic, and philosophy of mathematics. We have an active and successful placement program the results of which you can see from the record on our website. The Department regularly sponsors the following scholarly gatherings on campus that attract scholars from across the nation and around the world: The Arizona Normative Ethics Workshop and The Center for the Philosophy of Freedom's Current Research Workshop. An annual colloquium series hosts distinguished philosophers lecturing on their current research. Additionally, the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom conducts visiting scholar workshops featuring speakers from national institutions. Ours is also a strongly interdisciplinary department in which faculty and graduate students work in the intersections of philosophy with psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, physics, classics, economics, art, and mathematics.
