The Master of Arts in Philosophy Program is a master’s degree program under the academic track. It aims to provide a well-balanced approach to the study of philosophy in terms of the treatment of the discipline’s various branches and traditions. The program caters both to students who intend to pursue a teaching career in philosophy and therefore desire to intensify their knowledge of the basic areas of the discipline, and to students who intend to pursue other careers but who desire to explore and experience the vast intellectual horizon of the discipline and to learn the critical skills of philosophical analysis especially as they apply in the areas of decision-making, problem-solving, political advocacy, aesthetic appreciation, and ethical evaluation.
