The Accelerated Master of Arts in Philosophy Program (AMP in Philosophy) enables academically talented University of Arizona undergraduates to complete the B.A. and M.A. in philosophy after five years of study beginning with the student's freshman year as an undergraduate. This program is intended both for students interested in enhancing their qualifications for admission to other graduate programs (such as Ph.D. programs in philosophy or J.D. programs at law schools) as well as for students interested in an additional year of philosophical study but without any plans for future academic work.
AMP in Philosophy is open only to University of Arizona undergraduates majoring either in Philosophy or Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law.
AMP in Philosophy is independent of the University of Arizona Philosophy Ph.D. program. Students completing AMP in Philosophy will be given no special consideration relative to other applicants if they choose to apply to the doctoral program.
