MA Philosophy

The Master of Arts in Philosophy at UNT offers a world-class learning experience that prepares students for both academic and non-academic careers. Graduate students study with nationally and internationally known faculty members in the fields of environmental philosophy and the philosophy of science, technology, and society. Our curriculum is grounded in the history of philosophy with a strong emphasis in environmental philosophy. It also offers broad latitude for students to craft a degree plan to suit their interests, including interdisciplinary work across campus and internships beyond campus

When you pursue a Master's degree in Philosophy at the University of North Texas, you'll join an internationally recognized program that is known for its focus on environmental ethics and philosophy.

The master's degree is appropriate for students wishing to develop master's-level expertise in philosophy before pursuing doctoral studies in philosophy or related fields. It also provides an excellent background for students planning careers in law, policy, environmental science, public and private sector environmental firms, and nongovernmental organizations.
