    I've seen several threads regarding philosophy degrees, a topic I'm interested in as well (which is perhaps why I've noticed).

    During the course of my research I've discovered a new program that I haven't seen mentioned:

    The University of Memphis online BA in Philosophy

    This program is so new that it starts Fall 2010. There isn't a ton of info other than an info request form, but you can look at the BM Philosophy program to get an idea.

    Thanks for telling us about this. (I'm interested in philosophy too.)

    They say this:

    "The Department of Philosophy will offer is online BA in Philosophy with a concentration in Applied Ethics starting in fall 2010. This program will focus on ethical theories and ethical problem solving in the context of a number of professional domains including medicine, law, and business.*Core courses in this program provide a solid foundation in the history of philosophy and logic."

    Applied ethics isn't exactly my thing, but somebody might like it. It's definitely a growing subspecialty within American philosophy.
