The Philosophy, MA will be the only graduate philosophy program in the state of Alabama and will provide students at The University of Alabama and from the state of Alabama the opportunity for graduate study in philosophy. The concentrations in this M.A. program will also give students the opportunity to extend their philosophical studies related to Law, Medicine, or Mind/Brain to apply more successfully to and prepare for professional schools (Law and Medicine) and Ph.D. graduate schools (Philosophy, Psychology and the Neurosciences). This program will also help prepare students for their professional careers afterward in medicine, law, public service, and more, by helping them develop valuable general skills: analytic methods, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, argument building and information organization.
