Highlights

Philosophy is an exceptional department within a remarkable environmental institution. The University has the world-class W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation,as well as many highly-regarded programs with ties to the environment. These include Wildlife Biology, Environmental Studies, Native American Studies, and Environmental Journalism. We also have a strong tradition in environmental writing and an active program in ethics and public affairs. There is a continual stream of readings, lectures, conferences, and events on campus related to environmental issues.

Missoula itself occupies a beautiful location at the nexus of five valleys. It is home to numerous environmental organizations, state and federal natural resource agencies, poets, writers, environmental educators, and advocates. It's a vibrant community on the cutting edge of environmental and social discourse.

Our Master's program makes the most of these home field advantages to offer a contemporary program of engaged and applied philosophy.
