Graduate Philosophy at IUPUI

Program Directors: Cornelis de Waal, Ph.D. (American Philosophy)
Jason T. Eberl, Ph.D. (Bioethics)

The M.A. program offers two tracks: Bioethics and American Philosophy. The two tracks
are designed to make optimum use of key strengths of the IUPUI Campus. The first track is developed with the Indiana University Center for Bioethics. Bioethics is a rapidly growing field that requires educated and trained theorists and practitioners. Since IUPUI is home to one of the nation’s largest health-profession complexes, it is well-placed to play a leading role in the academic training of such individuals. The presence of two scholarly editions at IUPUI, the Santayana Edition and the Peirce Edition Project, has led to the accumulation of extensive resources in American philosophy.
