Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy

MacEwan University

A degree in philosophy is a degree in good thinking. If you are an analytical thinker who loves wisdom and the pursuit of knowledge, a philosophy major turns your passion for ideas into a powerful set of skills in critical analysis and argument presentation.

At MacEwan University, we use a ''great books approach'' to teaching philosophy, encouraging you to thoughtfully and critically consider your own world views and belief systems. You learn to pay close attention to the text, understand abstract concepts, distill complex reasoning and communicate with clarity and precision. The study of philosophy prepares you for graduate school and can also relate directly to business, medicine, public policy, education and law. As well, philosophy can complement and elaborate on your interest in psychology, sociology, religious studies and political science.
