Graduate Programs

The Philosophy Program at UTA actively participates in the cooperative philosophy Ph.D. program with the University of North Texas and in the Graduate Humanities M.A. Program at UTA. Our graduate course offerings in philosophy and in classics also support other graduate programs, particularly those in the humanities disciplines and in the social sciences at UTA. These courses provide inter alia the theoretical background necessary to the complete understanding and use of professional skills in such ancillary areas.

The Cooperative Philosophy Doctoral Program

The Ph.D. program in philosophy at the University of North Texas is a cooperative one between UNT and the Philosophy Program at UTA, drawing upon the expertise of the faculty of both institutions. Students apply for admission to the Ph.D. program through the degree granting institution, UNT. Upon admission, students are able to register for graduate courses at either participating institution and to make use of the academic resources available at either institution. Students are required to complete a minimum of 15 graduate semester credit hours at each participating institution.

See the Student Handbook for the Program and, also, visit the web page of UNT's Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies.

For more information, contact Professor Robert Frodeman at the University of North Texas.

The Graduate Humanities Master's Program

Through the Graduate Humanities Program, UTA offers courses of study leading to the Master of Arts in the Humanities. These courses of study are designed to instill understandings across the spectrum of those fields traditionally identified as "the humanities." The Graduate Humanities program is not suited for those wishing to pursue a traditional disciplinary degree, because its views, subject matter and methods transcend those normally allowed in a single discipline. It aims to integrate different disciplines within the humanities and to articulate connections across disciplinary boundaries. Coursework and examinations reflect the methods and perspectives of the humanities. Philosophy is a possible area of concentration within the Graduate Humanities Program.
