Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Associate of Arts Degree in Philosophy is a 60-credit undergraduate credential offered by the Faculty of Arts, built on KPU's Associate of Arts Degree framework. Within that framework, students complete a 15-credit concentration in Philosophy consisting of General Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 1100), Introduction to Moral Philosophy (PHIL 1110), Introduction to Formal Logic (PHIL 1150), and two further PHIL courses at the 2000 level or higher. A minimum grade of C is required in every course counted toward the degree. Graduates receive the Associate of Arts Degree in Philosophy.

Its current curriculum took effect 1 September 2021.

Admission Requirements: Admission follows KPU's general undergraduate entrance requirements together with the Faculty of Arts' Admission Requirements, which the calendar states consist only of KPU's undergraduate English Proficiency Requirement; no additional subject-specific admission criteria are listed for this program, and the same standard applies to domestic and international applicants.
