Where will a degree in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness take you?
Through a process of collaborative inquiry, students refine their unique perspectives and their ability to bridge various bodies of knowledge while developing plans for their next steps after graduation. Both the M.A. and Ph.D. prepare students for either continued scholarship or a wide variety of careers across many growing industries:
- Teaching, writing, and scholarly publication in academia and education
- Leading and facilitating programs for cultural, spiritual, and personal transformation
- Creating, producing, and developing new media and engaged arts projects
- Organizing, advocacy, and policy advancement
- Reimagining and renewing a variety of professional fields (e.g., education, religion, medicine, technology, the arts, finance)
