MA in Applied Ethics

Graduate School
1

<p>I've been looking for a practical masters program or something that would compliment my bachelor's in philosophy and I found this program:
MA</a> in Practical Philosophy & Applied Ethics</p>

<p>I've looked at the courses and I'm interested in the program, but I'm having a hard time seeing how I could get a job or start a career with this. I know that a consultant, for example, might benefit from this degree. But I'm not entirely sure how one gets certified or gets a job as a consultant. I've checked [url=<a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos019.htm%5Dbls.gov%5B/url"&gt;http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos019.htm]bls.gov[/url&lt;/a&gt;] and apparently they call them "Management Analysts." But under training and qualification, these people usually have master degrees in business management or something similar. </p>

<p>I would like to continue studying philosophy, but I have little ambition in becoming a professor or an author. This is what has kept me from choosing a more stable masters program that would ensure a career.</p>

<p>I don't mind a limited income, but if I could be a professional (which to me means wearing a tie and suit :)j/k) in something that I love I would be happy. </p>

<p>From the program, I've gotten that I can focus on courses dealing with politics, bioethics, business, etc. </p>

<p>Right now I would be interested in politics or nonprofit movements, but I'm not sure how this master lends itself to these sectors. Does anyone have any insight into this type of degree?</p>

<p>I would call the school and ask them where graduates from their program are placed.</p>

<p>Two questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Would emailing be an option? I’m currently in a place with lousy service.</p></li>
<li><p>Would they respond to my concerns now or should I wait until the semester begins?</p></li>
