Academic Programs
The Georgetown Department of Philosophy is a diverse community, offering the opportunity to study across an unusually broad range of philosophical traditions.
We are a relatively large department with diverse philosophical interests, and we take pride in providing a rigorous and nurturing environment for graduate study in Philosophy. In addition, we participate in dual J.D./M.A. and J.D./Ph.D. programs with the Georgetown University Law Center and dual M.D./M.A. and M.D./Ph.D. programs with the Georgetown University Medical School. Students wishing to pursue these programs must apply and be admitted to both Philosophy and the professional school. The Department does not offer a free-standing MA program.
