I recently posted about Florida State University having a combined BA & MA program. Essentialy one applies for the MA program in junior year, so before normal PhD applications, and spends an extra year in that philosophy program. The real change is that you start taking graduate courses early. By taking graduate courses early, before the BA is awarded, your able to count graduate courses for both MA and BA. There are a couple of different approaches to this that I have found so far.
3 or 4 classes count for both BA&MA Join me on Twitter or Facebook for updates. Please email suggestions, links and questions to PhilosoraptErs@gmail.com
List of Colleges and plans:
- 5 years
