A metaphysics program studies the philosophy surrounding human existence as it relates to the world. As a part of the philosophical viewpoint that assesses objects as quantifiable, classes may focus on rational thought such as physics, cosmology, and free will.

A master’s program is a focused degree that requires about two years of classwork, research, and possibly a thesis paper to earn. This advanced program of study allows students to further specialize their schooling in an area that interests them.
