The standard philosophy graduate program focuses on earning a Ph.D. Students receive their M.A. upon completing Stage One. In rare cases and without guaranteed funding, individuals may pursue just the Master of Arts degree, though this is uncommon. Those interested solely in an M.A. are advised to consider other institutions.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree and a grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in the last 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of undergraduate work.
Applicants should have taken courses in symbolic logic, ancient and early modern philosophy, ethics, and the theory of knowledge. Students who have not taken courses in one or more of these areas may still be admitted but will be required to make up their deficiencies early in their graduate program.
In evaluating applications, we look for applicants who have often received an A in philosophy courses, a writing sample that shows an ability to do graduate-level work in philosophy, and reference letters that testify to that ability. We no longer require the GRE beginning for Fall 2021 admission.
International applicants whose native language is not English must have a TOEFL score of at least 600 on the paper-based test or 100 on the internet-based test.
Submit a writing sample, preferably in philosophy, such as a term paper or part of a thesis, normally 10-20 pages in length. Upload this in the Statements section of the application, in response to Program-Specific Question 1. Here is a useful discussion of how to prepare a writing sample.
Arrange for three letters of recommendation in the Recommendations section of the application.
