Accelerated Master’s Degree in Philosophy
This accelerated program lets undergraduate students begin taking graduate-level courses during their final years of undergrad, saving time and money while deepening expertise and advancing careers sooner.
Accelerated Master’s Degree in Philosophy
Undergraduate students that would like to qualify for the Accelerated Master’s Program must meet the following requirements:
- Philosophy major
- 3.0 minimum GPA overall and in philosophy courses
- 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate
Students enrolled in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program in Philosophy can earn 12 credit hours towards their graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies.
Courses students in the Accelerated Master’s Degree Program in Philosophy can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:
- Phil 590: Adv Seminar Epistemology/Metaphysics

- Phil 592: Advanced Seminar in History of Phil
- Phil 593: Adv Seminar Epistemology/Metaphysics II

Remember: Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit).
- Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course.
- Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.
