Overview

Students will develop various skills:

A Masters Degree in Philosophy at The University of New Mexico will make you a formidable critical thinker, capable of working through the complex ramifications of different ideas and understanding the principles informing different positions. Such skills will be valuable in a wide range of careers.

The skills you'll learn are general and wide-ranging enough to open up careers in policy research, the third sector through charities and NGOs, the law, the civil service, and of course further study in philosophy itself where you might eventually make contributions to the future Philosophy curriculum.
A Master's in Philosophy is the study of human existence, its problems, and behavior. The field strives to use rational thinking and logical approaches to discover the knowledge that humans need in order to live well. It is the foundation of ideas on morality, ethics, government, and democracy.
