Applied Philosphy

About

Increasingly, firms and agencies recognize the significance of ethics, from hiring practices to workplace culture to how to treat clients.

The Master of Arts (MA) in Applied Philosophy is designed to teach diverse graduate, pre-professional and professional students and help them develop through both theoretical and hands-on philosophical training, into engaged citizens, leaders, and scholars. The MA in Applied Philosophy unites disciplines including sociology, medicine, law, public health, and social work. This breadth offers students a significant degree of flexibility to pursue their personal areas of interest and broaden their expertise beyond their core knowledge base. The degree prepares graduates to bring a more educated, nuanced and thoughtful approach to their work in clinical or hospital settings, health law or policy development or academic research and teaching as well as many other overlapping possibilities.

Graduates of the program will possess a mastery of 1) ethical theory, 2) the application of this theory to practice, and 3) the clinical case studies that guide research, policy, and legal deliberation in respect to our medical and health care practices. Graduates will be trained for positions in ethical leadership and will be "reflexively ethical" in order to establish standards that ramify throughout the organizations into which they are hired.
