The Philosophy Department offers a number of opportunities for graduate study.
M.A.
Students interested in exploring topics in Ethics, Interdisciplinary Humanities, or the Cognitive Sciences by pursuing a masters degree have several options.
- M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies at UCF
Students can pursue focused study in Humanities, Contemporary Humanities, Ethics (Theoretical and Applied), or Cognitive Sciences to earn an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies.
- M.A. in Philosophy: International Program at UCF and the University of Hertfordshire (England)
The Philosophy Department has partnered with the University of Hertfordshire (outside of London) to provide opportunity for UCF students to gain an international Philosophy MA degree that focuses on the themes of narrative, embodiment and action. The MA Philosophy degree is awarded by the University of Hertfordshire with the majority of study conducted here at UCF.
Graduate Certificates
Students interested in continuing some form of graduate study after finishing their undergraduate major, graduate students enrolled in M.A. or Ph.D. programs who want to supplement their program with interdisciplinary study, teachers from local schools, and professionals from local institutions who want to enhance their educational credentials, may be interested in a Graduate Certificate in Ethics, Contemporary Humanities, or the Cognitive Sciences.
- Graduate Certificate in Cognitive Sciences
The Graduate Certificate in Cognitive Sciences is an interdisciplinary program focusing on specific topics in the study of natural and artificial cognitive systems. This interdisciplinary program draws from related courses in the departments of Communicative Disorders, Computer Science, English (linguistics), Philosophy and Psychology.
- Graduate Certificate Program in Theoretical and Applied Ethics
The Graduate Certificate in Theoretical and Applied Ethics is designed to provide a specialized investigation of ethical theory and issues from a philosophical as well as a subject-specific point of view. This interdisciplinary graduate certificate focuses on specific topics of ethical inquiry in philosophy, humanities, the arts, sciences, health care, business, education, criminal justice, public administration, public relations, journalism, politics and other areas.
- Graduate Certificate Program in Contemporary Humanities
The Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Humanities is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on contemporary Western and non-Western concerns. By encouraging students to develop unique, cross-disciplinary perspectives on how contemporary trends, such as advancing technology and globalization, affect who we are and what we are becoming, the Contemporary Humanities graduate certificate has the potential to affect scholarly inquiry in both humanistic and non-humanistic fields and to serve central Florida, a site of rapid technological and demographic change.
Ph.D.
Although UCF does not offer a doctorate in Philosophy, Humanities, or Religious Studies, the department is committed to working with its students to place them in accredited Ph.D. programs. In addition, students who hold an M.A. in Philosophy or a related discipline have the opportunity to apply to the 3-year Ph.D. program at the University of Hertfordshire and to complete their work here at UCF. Contact Shaun Gallagher (gallaghr@mail.ucf.edu) for details.
