    About

    Learn to integrate theoretical philosophical training with practical problems with the PhD in Applied Philosophy program.

Completion of an eight-month applied research placement at a host organization such as a non-profit, hospital, business or government agency will provide you with practical experience.

    With the skills you gain to think logically and abstractly about complex projects, you’ll be prepared for a successful career in academia, government, health care, business, charitable organizations, and beyond.
