Philosophy has long been a central component of a liberal arts education. It is not just inherently interesting; it is a means of acquiring capacities for in-depth reasoning and communication.
Our department carries on teaching and research in many divisions of philosophy. There is an emphasis on interdisciplinary work, integrating the conceptual tools of philosophy with the approaches of many other disciplines including math, science, psychology, legal studies, economics, classical studies, and many more.
Our philosophy program emphasizes the analysis of ideas, careful reading and scholarship, and clear argumentation. These skills are highly valued by other disciplines and future employers.
The Philosophy Department offers several plans for majors and minors.
We are happy to answer any questions you have. Email: philug@uwaterloo.ca.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
