Graduate Studies
The Department of Philosophy at the University of Arkansas offers an M.A. and a Ph.D. in philosophy. Our M.A. and Ph.D. programs are actually distinct programs. The M.A. program is a two-year program, and the PhD program is a three-year program; students must have an M.A. in philosophy to qualify for the Ph.D. program. Students in either program can concentrate in history of philosophy (including ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary), metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and/or philosophy of science.
