Graduate Program

The Baylor University philosophy department has been an independent academic department since the early 1940s. The Department's graduate program has been in place since 1950. Graduates of the department, at both the BA and the MA levels, have gone on to further work and distinguished academic achievement at many of the most prestigious universities in the world. The Department is well-represented by graduates who are among the faculty and administration of major universities, leaders in business, distinguished attorneys and judges, and influential theologians and religious leaders.

The department has added a Ph.D. program in the fall 2003. New departmental offices, additional faculty members, increased numbers of graduate students, increased levels of support for students and faculty are some signs of this new program development in the philosophy department.
