Graduate Programs

The Department supports two graduate programs:

1. Special Case MA in Philosophy

 The minimum requirements for an MA degree in Philosophy include:

    Thesis research: 15 credit hours
    Variable credit:   15 credit hours

TOTAL: 30 credit hours

At the present time, special case students will normally be required to complete a minimum of five graduate courses (800 level) in Philosophy. In certain cases, a student may be granted permission to substitute one senior course at the 400 level for one of the graduate courses. As well, where appropriate, a student may be granted permission to substitute one senior or graduate level course in a cognate area offered by another department or academic unit. The student must also complete an acceptable thesis (Phil. 901).
Prerequisites

A 4 year BA or Honours BA in Philosophy or equivalent. There is no general second language requirement for a MA in Philosophy. However, in some cases, a reading knowledge of a second language may be required before a thesis topic can be approved.
