Combined BA\/MA in Philosophy<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Seminars and research tutorials are given on both the leading contemporary movements of philosophy and the chief historical periods and figures. Students with diverse philosophical interests are accommodated by a faculty that represents a broad spectrum of specializations. The acceleration and intensiveness of the BA\/MA program makes for an exceptionally solid grounding in philosophy. For full details and application forms, see the department’s Graduate Program Advisor.<\/span>
