Philosophy - Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at MacEwan University examines fundamental questions of existence, knowledge, ethics, and reasoning through analytical study of philosophical traditions across Eastern and Western history. The four-year, 120-credit program combines a philosophy major with either two minors or a second Arts major, giving students flexibility to pair philosophical study with other disciplines. Coursework builds skills in analytical thinking, logical argumentation, and the interpretation of abstract concepts, and culminates in senior seminar and capstone coursework. Students engage with core areas of philosophy including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and logic, while developing research and writing skills applicable across many careers. The degree is delivered at MacEwan University's City Centre Campus in Edmonton, Alberta. Graduates leave with strong critical-reasoning and communication abilities suited to graduate study or to professional fields that value rigorous argumentation, careful analysis, and clear written expression, including law, public policy, education, and business.
