Department of Philosophy
Why study Philosophy?
Learn how to think, discuss and write about abstract ideas. Discover how philosophy contributes to disciplines as diverse as sociology and computer science. You'll develop skills that lead to success in a wide range of graduate studies, and beyond.
Why Women's Studies?
The interdisciplinary Women’s Studies program focuses on gender and sexuality as they exist independently and in relation to race, class, disability, and other important social issues. The program offers students opportunities to engage in participatory classrooms, collaborative learning, and leadership experiences.
The supportive and welcoming attitudes of the members of the Philosophy Department at the University of Calgary fostered a collaborative environment that allowed me to thrive personally and academically.
