Master of Arts Program in Philosophy
The Department of Philosophy offers a program leading to the
degree of Master of Arts. The department’s requirements are (1) 32 points of
graduate study, at least 24 in residence at New York University and 24 in the
department (courses taken outside the department, as well as transfer credits,
must receive departmental approval); (2) a substantial research paper of
appropriate quality, which may be written either in connection with a seminar
or under the supervision of a departmental adviser and which must receive a
grade of B+ or better. A student’s academic performance and status in the
program are subject to periodic review by the department.
DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Students at the New York University School of Law may pursue
an M.A.-J.D. or Ph.D.-J.D. dual degree program in philosophy and law. Students
at the School of Medicine may pursue an M.A.-M.D. dual
degree program in philosophy and medicine. In each case, students must meet the
admission requirements of both schools. Graduate students in the Department of
Philosophy may enroll in pertinent School
of Law classes, and, if
qualified, may attend classes under the auspices of the law school’s Program in
Law, Philosophy, and Social Theory. In addition, the Department of Philosophy
sponsors frequent colloquia, at which the research of faculty or invited
speakers is presented.
