| What it is | Philosophy 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. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. | This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization. |
