Each small incoming class to our Master of Arts (MA) degree begins with a pro-seminar to understand relations and interactions between the Department’s two broad strengths in contemporary philosophy: philosophy of mind, language, and knowledge; and moral, social, and political philosophy. Students acquire graduate-level research competency in one or both of these fields, or in history of philosophy. Each of our students can explore their own research interests in small-group or one-to-one graduate tutorials.
