What you studyPhilosophyAncient Middle Eastern LanguagesClassical Greek StudiesClassical StudiesClassics
What it isPhilosophy is the study of fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, ethics, and how to live well. You examine ideas through reading, writing, and discussion rather than labs or fieldwork. The co-op option lets you apply philosophical thinking to work placements in fields like policy, law, or non-profits, which sets this apart from a straight philosophy degree.Humanities is the study of human culture, history, ideas, and expression through subjects like history, philosophy, literature, classics, and religious studies. You choose courses across these fields rather than specializing in just one, so you develop a broad understanding of how societies, texts, and beliefs have shaped each other over time. This suits people curious about why humans think and act as they do, who enjoy reading and discussion, and who want flexibility to explore before narrowing down.
