<p>So far I've found:
Florida State University
University of Arizona
Fordham University
George Mason University
Scripps College
Franciscan University of Steubenville
Old Dominion University
American University
Binghamton University </p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>Boston College</p>
<p>What exactly had you imagined doing with an MA in Philosophy that a BA alone won’t allow?</p>
<p>I want to eventually get a PhD.</p>
<p>Stanford allows you to coterm in philosophy, meaning you work toward your MA while you’re still working on your BA, and then stay a bit longer to finish the MA (typically 5 years total).</p>
<p>You can apply to Ph.D. directly out of BA. You’ll either be admitted to the MA program with the opportunity to work your way into the doctoral program, or you’ll be admitted straight to the doctoral program. You may or may not come away with an MA - it’s something that you might pick up along the way to the Ph.D. and is incidental to the doctorate. All that to say don’t worry about finding a BA/MA program. Find a BA program that fits you well and then you can find an MA/Ph.D. program that will serve you well.</p>
<p>You’ve got a lot of time between now and then, but make sure that you do a little research on the job market for philosophy professors. Right now it’s not superb. Make sure you go in eyes open.</p>
<p>If you want to get a PhD, I would not recommend choosing schools based on whether or not they offer a BA/MA program. This is a very poor way to choose where to go, especially when it comes to wanting to get a PhD and in philosophy of all subjects. Check out [The</a> Philosophical Gourmet Report 2009 : Welcome](<a href=“http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/]The”>http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/) to get information on which schools are good in philosophy. Note however that this list only gives graduate rankings, however… In most cases, the professors that make the graduate programs good often teach undergraduate classes. Before choosing a school however, make sure that such is the case and that the professors take time to interact with undergraduate students, etc. For example, I can tell you that the top professors at NYU do in fact teach undergraduate courses and are (in most cases) open and friendly towards their undergraduate students.</p>
<p>You want to pick a strong undergraduate program, as philosophy can be a very dense subject. When applying to graduate schools (you should apply directly for PhD programs), it’s good to have a good background in philosophy from a strong philosophy school.</p>
<p>I am a transfer student - I had to drop out - so I’ve studied Philosophy before.</p>
<p>I found some more schools though:
University of Cincinnati
University of Saint Thomas
George Washinton University
The New School
Vanderbilt University
University of Albany
Kent State University
Texas Tech University
Tulane University</p>
<p>It is very difficult to address your questions with your stats. The best option: complete an undergraduate degree from a school with a strong philosophy department and then pursue a PhD.</p>
<p>Again, I’ll recommend the same thing. </p>
<p>(1) Find a school with a strong undergraduate program in Philosophy and do well
(2) Apply directly to a PhD program</p>
<p>There’s no reason to pursue an MA if you plan on getting your PhD. So, like I stated before, find a college with a strong undergraduate program. Look at the Philosophical Gourmet that I posted before. See if you like any of those schools. Complete your BA in a timely manner, do well and then apply directly to the very good graduate programs also listed on Philosophical Gourmet.</p>
<p>If you want to get your PhD from a strong program, you should try to get your undergraduate degree from the strongest program possible. (When applying to Graduate schools for Philosophy, the strength of your undergrad degree matters). Thus, trying to find schools that offer BA/MA programs is limiting yourself in a way that may impact your graduate applications.</p>
