Program Strengths:
As is typical of Canadian graduate programs, the department offers a 2-year MA program which requires one year of coursework and a thesis, typically completed in the second year. Switching to the PhD program is possible for qualified students. The MA program is fully funded. Our students are competitive at placing in top PhD programs. The academic strengths are the same as for the PhD program.
Program Strengths:
The department is strong in many areas of philosophy, but especially in ethics, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language and logic. A graduate enrollment of about 35 students allows for small graduate classes and quality student-faculty interaction. The department is an active and welcoming philosophical community and encourages diversity. The department hosts an extensive visiting speakers program, conferences, graduate colloquia, research group meetings, a first-year seminar, and an active placement service.
