MA Placement Information

Since 2002, over fifty students have graduated from our department with an M.A. Philosophy.  Roughly half of these former students continued their graduate education in Ph.D. programs across the country, while a good number of the graduates from our M.A. program leave academia to pursue other career paths.  Some, for instance, have earned certificates in education and are now teaching in high schools. 

Below we list the titles of the M.A. papers defended by some of the students who pursued their doctorates after graduating from our program.  We also list their advisors and the schools at which continued their graduate education.  All the placements listed below were accompanied by full funding unless otherwise noted. 

In addition to the schools listed below, graduates from our M.A. program have also been accepted into Philosophy Ph.D programs at the New School for Social Research in New York City and the University of California – San Diego.

NOTE: This page was last updated in July 2024 and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  We will continue to update the current positions of our graduates as information becomes available to us.
