You enjoy asking some of life's fundamental questions. You contemplate existence, morality, and ethics. You enjoy analyzing your thoughts and beliefs, and debating on topics such as politics, policy, business, or industry. You sound like a philosopher!

Philosophers are concerned with fundamental questions about knowledge, values, and the nature of the universe. What is the nature of truth? What actions are moral? What does it mean to be a person?

Philosophy forces us to re-examine these assumptions and take nothing for granted. Through lectures, seminars, and assignments, you'll hone your analytical and critical thinking skills and your ability to express your ideas articulately.

Gain paid work experience through co-op work terms. If you're interested in co-op, apply to Arts and Business and choose Philosophy as your major at end of first year.
