MA Philosophy Accelerated Program
The Philosophy Department offers a special arrangement for Franciscan University students that enable them to receive an early admission to the MA program. Students admitted under the accelerated program are allowed to take up to two graduate-level philosophy courses for a total of 6 credit hours and to apply these credits both toward completion of their undergraduate degree as well as their MA degree. The tuition for these two graduate-level courses is the normal tuition for undergraduate courses. By taking two graduate-level philosophy courses under this program, the student is left with the requirement of completing 24 credits of graduate work, which can be done by taking the normal graduate load of four courses for two more semesters. There would remain only the language requirement and thesis. More information is available in the philosophy department.
