Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program, offered as a Major within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, surveys major philosophical traditions and thinkers. Housed in the Department of Philosophy within the Faculty of Humanities, the curriculum emphasizes two broad areas, Continental European Philosophy and the Western Philosophical Tradition, taught primarily through seminar-style classes in which students take on leadership roles presenting their own work. Advanced students have the opportunity to pursue independent studies on specialized topics. The program can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms. Many students combine the Philosophy major with a second major, such as Education or Pre-Law. Graduates go on to careers and further study in fields including law, education, international aid, and other fields requiring strong analytical and writing skills.
