Thanks for the advice. I'll look them up.

How do you like the courses of LSU? Is it a 2 year program?

Thank you so much!

I majored in economics. The courses closest to philosophy are economics ones about utilitarianism. I am from China originally, so course about karl marx's theories is a must if that counts

Thank you! I will look it up.

Thanks for the advice. Philosophy of mind, science, and ethics interest me the most. Another big reason I want to apply for an MA is to get a PhD afterward. Are those fully funded programs more difficult to get in?

Hi all, I am preparing to apply for an MA program this year or 2019. I had an undergrad degree in economics and a master one in logistics/industrial engineering. I have been working in a logistics company for 3 years since my graduation. In recent years, I became really passionate about philosophy and started reading a lot about it and going to philosophy meetups. I want to have a systematic education on it, so I think starting with an MA program is my best shot. I hope to eventually get a PhD in philosophy. My GPA is 3.7 for my grad degree and 3.6 for my undergrad. I don't have a Phil background. Is it still possible to get in a good program? Can you please give me some suggestions on choosing programs? Thank you so much for your help!
