Key Facts

Many students from the Philosophy MA program offered at Georgia State University go on to Ph.D. programs in philosophy, including Stanford, Brown, and Duke. Other students, especially those in the neurophilosophy track, enter graduate programs in psychology or cognitive science. Other graduates have gone on to highly-ranked law schools, such as NYU, Georgetown, and Michigan.

The concentration in the History of Philosophy is designed to prepare students to continue their education in history and pedagogy by transitioning into and obtaining the Masters in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree in Social Studies Education at Georgia State University in one year, and to become certified to teach Social Studies for grades 6-12.
