Overview

What can you rely upon as truth, and what is false? Is there a God? What should you do with your life? What does a just society look like? What are the limits of scientific knowledge? What can money not buy?

You study Philosophy at Brandon University if you wonder about questions like these, if you want to know why Plato’s answers to them have been so influential — or St. Augustine’s, or Newton’s, or Einstein’s, or Derrida’s. In the process, Philosophy will change you, in ways that are rewarding both personally and practically.

Successful Philosophy students excel in thought, speech and writing. They can move seamlessly between different points of view on an issue; they can anticipate objections to their opinions, and are prepared to disarm them; they can ingest difficult material and turn it into something everyone can understand; they can see deep, interesting and far-reaching connections between ideas.

Key Facts

Small classes permit instructors to give students considerable individual attention in all aspects of their education, including in class discussion, presentation preparation, and writing development. There is also an active student philosophy club and a range of scholarships available for Philosophy students.
