Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy

Queen's University

The Philosophy program at Queen’s provides students with critical thinking and reading skills, enabling them to uncover hidden assumptions, identify core premises, evaluate arguments and communicate ideas effectively. Study Ancient, Modern, and post-19th Century thinkers as they investigate key questions in Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, and Political Philosophy. Our courses offer a range of perspectives, from broad investigations of perennial topics to problem-based inquiries. Philosophy puts you in dialogue with society’s brightest minds, from the ancients to more cutting-edge contemporary thinkers. Philosophy is a gateway to professional degrees - Law, Medicine, Public Policy, and more. Students gain analytical skills, and can better understand presuppositions behind arguments.
