Student review [#83951] for Philosophy and Religion
at Palm Beach Atlantic University

The MA in Philosophy of Religion at Palm Beach Atlantic University has prepared me for life both in academia (to be a future PhD student and professor) and in life. The professors really care about helping their students succeed. The program has curated the perfect space for community engagement, learning, and critical thinking. There is even time set aside each week for graduate students and professors to meet together and discuss philosophy outside of the classroom. This is a safe place to voice questions and share ideas. Throughout the semester, they also bring in philosophers form other schools to present talks and papers. This is also a great way for us to network with others as we prepare to apply for PhD programs. Additionally almost everyone in the program on campus are able to work as student assistants to the professors. This has given me the opportunity to better understand what it means to do research, write books and articles, and teach at the university level. Being here has made me more confident in my abilities as an academic and has given me confidence to share my ideas with others both in the academy and with the public.
