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

The M.A. program caters to University of Michigan students enrolled in professional programs or academic degrees 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 following application review. Those wishing to transition from the M.A. to Ph.D. program must complete the standard application process alongside other candidates, with no preferential treatment given to current M.A. students. Accepted Ph.D. students may petition to have their M.A. coursework count toward doctoral requirements, though this is not guaranteed.

Our faculty expertise spans 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.
