Oh snap. Thanks for posting this. Now I'm glad I slow-rolled my Philosophy BA with them. I wonder if I can just convert over or if I need to reapply but for graduate level.

Yes, I would highly recommend that if you already have a Bachelors in your portfolio. A Masters beats another Bachelors any day of the week...

Ooh! Is this the only true online graduate program in philosophy? I've seen medical ethics, Catholic philosophy, and New Age philosophy programs, but not a regular philosophy program.
RE: Newlane's Master in Philosophy - NotJoeBiden - 09-08-2026
Looks like a great program. Here is the full course list:
Foundations of Philosophy
Graduate Critical Reading & Writing
Epistemology
Metaphysics
Ethic
Aesthetics
Political Philosophy
Philosophy of Science
Eastern Philosophy
Feminist Philosophy

Looks like a great and well rounded program for anyone with an open mind interested in exploring philosophy. I will add that this program may not great for some of the more "sensitive" members on this forum.

I need a religion or philosophy degree for BCCI certification, and it doesn't need to be regionally accredited, so I might do this.

For anyone questioning the way they do things. I would recommend Newlane. I thought thier learning system was easy to navigate through.

Fort Hays State University has a graduate philosophy degree, but it's an Master of Liberal Studies in Philosophy. A lot more expensive than this, too.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of FHSU's liberal studies programs because of the 10 credits of fluff. That only leaves 18 credits of content courses and the capstone.

I imagine that they will utilize the same methodology for their masters
