Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy

Program Overview

While the pursuit of knowledge has evolved into specialized disciplines, philosophy continues to address the larger, fundamental questions underlying these disciplines such as "What is knowledge?", "What is truth?", "What is justice?". By studying philosophy, you will learn about the intellectual foundations of our society, but you will also develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that will enable you to re-examine society with an inquisitive mind and a discerning lens. 

We will explore fundamental philosophical concepts, from Ancient Greek to the modern era, in order to understand contemporary thinking about ethics and justice in context. Our programs emphasize reasoning skills, oral debate, and writing proficiency with the balance of coursework dedicated to such philosophical topics as:

  • Gender 
  • Popular Culture 
  • Paranormal 
  • Love 
  • Biomedical Ethics 
  • Existentialism 
  • Environmental

You will graduate from our program with the ability to:

  • Analyze and interpret arguments
  • Justify beliefs with reference to standards of proof
  • Describe major philosophical trends
  • Apply a historical understanding to key philosophical questions
  • Identify theoretical assumptions 
  • Plan and conduct research that is accurate, thorough, and broadly based

Due to the multidisciplinary relevance of the field, you may combine your studies with disciplines such as English, History, French, Indigenous Learning, Psychology, or Political Science.  We are also one of the few universities in Canada to offer a minor in Professional Ethics. This is a great option if you are interested in examining ethical issues in business, biomedical science, the environment, or - digital technology.
