At University of Regina in Regina, Canada, BA/BS in Philosophy is offered as a bachelor's degree in Philosophy & Ethics programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 978 per credit (CAD 280 per credit for local students).
The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at the University of Regina is a four-year program that introduces students to fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and belief through the study of both classical and modern thinkers, including Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Marx, and Rousseau. Course offerings range from traditional areas of philosophical inquiry to more contemporary topics such as the philosophy of sexuality and love, environmental ethics, and the ethical questions raised by emerging technology. As with other arts degrees at the university, the program is offered jointly through the University of Regina and its federated colleges, Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. The curriculum emphasizes close reading of philosophical texts, structured argument, and the practice of questioning conventional assumptions rather than a single applied specialization. This program suits students who enjoy sustained intellectual debate and want to sharpen their reasoning and analytical skills through direct engagement with philosophical arguments. Graduates apply these skills in varied fields, including counselling, criminal justice, management, policy analysis, and communications, and the degree is also commonly used as preparation for law school or other professional and graduate programs that value rigorous analytical thinking.

Admission Requirements: The Philosophy program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Arts sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.
