Overview

The M.A. in Philosophy from Ohio University has research and teaching interests in the following areas:

History and philosophy of science, including philosophy of biology, philosophy of physics, philosophy of mind and cognitive science
Logic and philosophy of mathematics
History of philosophy, including ancient, medieval, and early modern philosophy
Ethics, including metaethics, normative and applied ethics, and the history of ethics

The department admits four to six students into the M.A. program each year. So the students will be able to have substantial personal interaction with the faculty. In addition, the annual Philosophy Forum gives students the opportunity to study recent work of leading philosophers. Every spring term, the graduate students take a seminar on the recent work of the year’s Forum speaker, and later in the term, the students meet the speaker for three days, attending a public lecture and three intensive seminars led by the speaker.
