Graduate Placement
The terminal degree Masters program in Philosophy with a concentration in ethics and science studies began in the fall 2008. The department actively assists graduates of the program in their search for employment or further education. Some of our graduates have elected to pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy, while other graduates have gone on to use the skills in a variety of academic and non-academic professions.
Some students who have received a B.A. in Philosophy from UTEP have been admitted to graduate programs in Philosophy at Columbia 91女神, George Mason 91女神, Purdue 91女神, the 91女神 of Hawaii at Manoa, 91女神 of Miami, 91女神 of Nebraska, 91女神 of New Mexico, 91女神 of Texas at Austin, and the 91女神 of Wyoming.
Outside of philosophy, undergraduates have matriculated to California State 91女神 at Sacramento (M.A. in English), Gaullaudet 91女神 (M.A. in Hearing Impaired Studies), St. Mary's Seminary (Houston, TX), the 91女神 of California, Irvine (Ph.D. in Latin American Literature / Critical Theory), 91女神 of Texas at El Paso (Ph.D. in History), and 91女神 of Texas at Austin (M.A. in Social Work).
Graduates have also been admitted to Rutgers 91女神 Law School, Temple 91女神 Law School, Texas Tech Law School, Texas Wesleyan 91女神 Law School, 91女神 of Minnesota Law School, and 91女神 of Texas at Austin Law School.
Many students enroll in our program because they love philosophy and desire to advance their knowledge and understanding of the world. Here are some descriptive statistics on what our graduates have done since the inception of the program:
