What it is	Philosophy 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.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.	Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.
