MA in Philosophy - Action Theory in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

The M.A. program caters to University of Michigan students enrolled in professional or academic programs outside philosophy who would benefit from graduate-level philosophical training. Admission is typically restricted to these students, with exceptions made only at the discretion of the admissions committee. Those wishing to transition from the M.A. to Ph.D. program must go through the standard application process and compete with all other applicants - no preferential treatment is given to current M.A. students. Accepted Ph.D. candidates may petition to have their M.A. coursework count toward doctoral requirements, though this isn't guaranteed.

Our faculty expertise spans both traditional philosophical disciplines - including ethics, political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and historical philosophy - as well as specialized areas such as feminist philosophy, decision theory, formal epistemology, legal philosophy, and philosophy of physics.
