Applied Philosophy and Ethics (MA)
San Marcos, Texas, USA, United States
Overview
Applied Philosophy and Ethics
Students acquire skills of analysis, argumentation, and dialogue, allowing them to pinpoint solutions to ethical, social, and political problems.
Program Overview
Dialogue, essential to any practical application of philosophy, is at the heart of the MAAPE program. Students apply theory by participating in the Department of Philosophy's Dialogue Series. The series includes student and faculty presenters from all eight colleges on campus, as well as speakers from off campus.
Course Work
Each course in the MAAPE program contributes to the development of skills of argumentation, analysis, dialogue and theoretical knowledge in real-life situations. Students must also select a specific group of classes oriented toward their career goals in a discipline other than philosophy. Students may choose between a non-thesis track (33 hours) or a thesis track (30 hours). The thesis track is designed especially for those who plan to advance to doctoral studies. Students who choose the thesis track will write a thesis under the supervision of a member of the graduate faculty in the philosophy department. All MAAPE students can enroll concurrently in a 12-hour program leading to a graduate certificate in professional ethics.
