Syracuse University provides graduate programs in philosophy, awarding both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The Ph.D. Program equips students to produce original philosophical work and pursue academic careers, while the M.A. Program deepens students' knowledge and skills in specific philosophical areas.
Students can specialize in various fields including metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, ethics, political philosophy, and the history of philosophy. The department also offers interdisciplinary concentrations involving religion, psychology, law, continental philosophy, and linguistics through collaborations with other departments. Both degree programs emphasize the importance of studying both historical philosophical traditions and contemporary philosophical debates.
