Philosophy at the University of Toronto Scarborough

In our programs, students study with outstanding, world-class faculty members who bring cutting edge research to their teaching.

Studying philosophy fosters adept reasoning, effective communication, and excellent problem solving. It enhances your capacity to:

• grasp and evaluate new ideas and information
• to think creatively
• to innovate
• and to write and speak clearly and persuasively.

These are skills that are of immense value in a wide variety of fields and careers.

Students can specialize, major or minor in philosophy. They can combine a major or minor in philosophy with a wide range of other majors and programs. Program highlights include our very popular minor in Biomedical Ethics, and our experiential learning program, the Socrates Project.
