Program details
Overview
This programme leads to a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at the University of Guelph, offered through the Department of Philosophy, College of Arts. Coursework examines fundamental questions of ethics, existence, knowledge and truth, with courses ranging from ancient to modern philosophy and applied ethics. The Honours major requires 8.50 credits in Philosophy, taken within the standard eight-semester, four-year full-time Bachelor of Arts course of study used across University of Guelph Bachelor of Arts programmes, which totals 20.00 credits including distribution requirements. Philosophy is also available as a minor or area of concentration. Completing the four-year Honours Bachelor of Arts makes graduates eligible for guaranteed admission to select postgraduate programmes. The programme develops skills in critical reasoning, argument analysis and written communication, preparing graduates for further study in philosophy or law, and for careers in fields such as public policy, publishing and teaching.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Arts admits Ontario secondary-school applicants who present English (ENG4U) plus five additional Grade 12 4U or 4M courses, six 4U/M courses in total. This requirement covers the Bachelor of Arts General and every B.A. major other than Economics and Quantitative Economics and Finance, including Anthropology, Art History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science and Psychology. The admission average is calculated from these six courses under the current Ontario Secondary School Curriculum; if two completed courses are judged equivalent (for example, legacy OAC English alongside 4U English), only one counts toward the average, and the non-academic component of 4U/M co-op courses is excluded entirely. Applicants intending Anthropology, Political Science, Psychology or another Social Science major are additionally encouraged, though not required, to complete a 4U Mathematics course among their five additional courses.
