Description

Learn to integrate theoretical philosophical training with practical problems with the PhD in Applied Philosophy program.

You’ll engage with and reflect on real, practical situations and problems rather than on detailed engagement with current professional philosophical literature. Completion of an eight-month applied research placement at a host organization such as a non-profit, hospital, business or government agency will provide you with practical experience. 

With the skills you gain to think logically and abstractly about complex projects, you’ll be prepared for a successful career in academia, government, health care, business, charitable organizations, and beyond.
