Université de Moncton offers BA/BS in Philosophy (Major), a bachelor's degree in Philosophy & Ethics programme in Moncton, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,761 per year (CAD 8,601 per year for local students).
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in philosophy (regular profile) is a four-year, 120-credit undergraduate program. The first year can be completed at the Edmundston or Shippagan campus, with two years available at Edmundston before students move to Moncton, where the full four years are also offered. The curriculum allocates 66 credits to foundational coursework, 45 credits to core philosophy courses — three mandatory courses in introduction to philosophy, logic and critical thinking, and ethics, plus electives including a minimum number of credits at the 3000 and 4000 levels — and 21 credits to related-discipline courses drawn from history and a wide range of humanities and science subjects. Beyond the major, students complete 30 credits of general education and electives and a mandatory 24-credit minor in a second discipline. Admission requires a secondary school diploma with a French course and four additional eligible courses at specified minimum grades, with an overall average across the five admission courses. The program emphasizes critical thinking, conceptual analysis, and argumentative reasoning across ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, and aesthetics, and suits students who want a philosophy foundation paired with depth in a second field through the required minor.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Canadian and permanent-resident applicants apply directly to Université de Moncton by recurring annual deadlines that carry no published calendar year: 31 August for autumn-term entry and 5 January for winter-term entry, with the Baccalauréat en science infirmière (Nursing) and Baccalauréat en design intérieur due 1 February, and the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at the Moncton campus or 30 June at Shippagan/Edmundston. International applicants must apply by 31 May for autumn entry and 30 September for winter entry, with the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at Moncton or 31 May at Shippagan/Edmundston. Applications received after these dates are automatically deferred to the following session, and Université de Moncton may close applications earlier if volume is high, so admission is firm rather than rolling. The admissions page's only calendar-year reference is to the Automne 2026 term already under way (registration closes 4 September 2026, classes begin 9 September 2026), which places the source's current context in the 2026-27 academic year; the next occurrences of the recurring deadlines above therefore fall in Hiver 2027 and Automne 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
