Master of Arts in Practical Philosophy and Applied Ethics
| Program Overview | The M.A. in Practical Philosophy and Applied Ethics seeks to foster application of ethical and philosophical knowledge to concerns in social, political, economic, and cultural life. The primary objective is to offer practically oriented but philosophically grounded expertise in ethics and normative theory generally. The program leads to two distinct ends: an MA or a Graduate Certificate in Applied Ethics. |
