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 two years of philosophical study but without any plans for future academic work.
A limited number of students who will have completed the Bachelor's degree prior to beginning their graduate studies may be annually admitted to the M.A. program. Neither admission to nor completion of the M.A. program ensures subsequent admission to the doctoral program.
The MA in Philosophy is independent of the University of Arizona Philosophy Ph.D. program. Students completing the MA in Philosophy will be given no special consideration relative to other applicants if they choose to apply to the doctoral program.

The Philosophy is a Master degree offered by University of Arizona on the University of Arizona - Main - Tucson campus in United States of America. The program is delivered on campus as a Full Time course in English and requires approximately 2 years to complete. Students study at the University of Arizona - Main - Tucson campus while gaining the knowledge and practical experience expected for this area of study. The next intake is available from August 21, 2027.
