With a philosophy/religion BA degree can I transfer into a philosophy masters program?
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011Question by Nathan: With a philosophy/religion BA degree can I transfer into a philosophy masters program?
The school I’m trying to get into next year has a combined philosophy and religion department and doesn’t offer a large variety of strictly philosophy classes. Long term, I intend on obtaining a masters and phd in just philosophy. So my question is this: with a phil/rel BA degree, will schools accept me into their masters and eventual phd programs for philosophy?

There should be no problem. Just be aware there are like 50 PhD holders in philosophy for every tenure track position that opens up. And that there is no other work for a PhD in philosophy that actually requires the degree.
