What it isPhilosophy is the study of fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, ethics, and how to live well, using logic and reasoned argument rather than experiment or observation. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience alongside your studies. It suits people who enjoy abstract thinking and debate, and want to explore ideas deeply before deciding on a specialized career path.Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing.
