- Graduate diploma - Disciplinary graduate diplomas provide an opportunity to acquire additional academic credentials at the graduate level without committing to a full master’s program. These programs allow students to expand on their knowledge of a particular discipline and may also be used for professional development within their careers.
- MA – The MA program in Philosophy is thesis-based and is designed so that it may be completed in one academic year (three semesters) of full-time study. The program can also be taken part time, in which case completion is longer.
- PhD – The PhD program consists of courses, a comprehensive exam, and a thesis. Proficiency in a second language is required. The program can be completed in four years of full-time study.
