Overview

The majority of students who enroll in the M.A. program in Philosophy at Boston College do so with an eye to applying to Ph.D. programs at the beginning of their second year. Students have an adviser and receive help for the preparation of their applications, under the form of a writing seminar, and feed- back on their portfolio from a faculty panel.

Features

The M.A. Philosophy program has a dedicated coordinator who organizes specific meetings and workshops for the cohort of M.A. students.

Because advanced training in philosophy develops skills in rigorous reasoning, clear analysis, writing and oral communication, a master’s degree can also be helpful to students who want to pursue a career in fields as diverse as law, publishing, political sciences, administration, human resources, economics, consulting, applied ethics, among others.
