Our Placement Record
 

The University of Manitoba has a good record of placing its M.A. degree holders in strong Ph.D. programs. Every M.A. student that has applied to a Ph.D. program has entered a Ph.D. program. To provide prospective students with an indication of our past success, we here provide records covering recent years of M.A. degree holders. In the table below we provide the following information about each person who has received the M.A. degree in Philosophy from the University of Manitoba from 2000 to 2010: area of the M.A. thesis, year when the degree was received, and occupation after degree, if known. An entry of “No Data” in this last column indicates that we do not know the status of the person in question.

We caution that although this data is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge, we cannot guarantee that there are no errors or omissions. The department would appreciate knowing of any needed corrections to this information. Potential students should also recognize that past results are not a guarantee of future results.
