Philosophy appeals to those with an inquisitive mind. We examine the fundamental ideas shaping our perspectives. Consider questions like: How do we define justice, morality, love, knowledge, nature, freedom, or identity? To facilitate this exploration, we provide courses covering epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, political philosophy, environmental philosophy, philosophy of religion, and philosophical history. We strive to create a supportive, stimulating space where you can develop clear, reasoned, independent thinking.
In addition to major and minor options, we provide an honors program for exceptional students. Our graduates have continued their philosophical studies at institutions including Concordia, Dalhousie, McGill, McMaster, Queen’s, Simon Fraser, Toronto, UBC, Victoria, Waterloo, and York. Many also excel in law school, while others enter fields like health research, journalism, education, and business. A philosophy degree signals to employers that you're a capable, analytical thinker who works well independently. Beyond career prospects, philosophy's true value lies in cultivating self-directed, genuine understanding – wherever your path may lead.
