New MA program: Ryerson University (Toronto)

The Philosophy Department at Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada) is
launching an MA program in September 2010. It is a two year (i.e.,
five-term) program and students complete either a thesis or a major
research paper. Our department has strengths in the philosophy of mind
and language; metaphysics; continental philosophy; philosophy of
religion; social and moral philosophy; and aesthetics. We offer very
competitive financial support, with opportunities to work as teaching
and research assistants. We start considering applications on January
15th, 2010.
