Philosophy pushes us to reflect on our personal and social lives. It allows us to examine and assess certain important ideas seeded in politics, morality, natural sciences, social sciences, education, religion, languages, business and law. Philosophy also improves our logical thinking, broadens our horizons and develops our analytical abilities, which are all very useful not only in any field of work, but also in daily life. The philosophy program provides a general education in the discipline while allowing students to explore issues in which they have a personal interest. Generally, people with a background in philosophy have better results on recognized tests leading to subsequent degrees, such as admission testing for graduate studies in administration or law school. In addition, the Ontario Ministry of Education recognizes philosophy as a teachable subject. If you're thinking of becoming a teacher, a degree in philosophy meets the admission criteria to Ontario Teachers' Colleges. The philosophy program is offered jointly by Laurentian University and the University of Sudbury.<br><br>Key features<br>• Benefit from philosophy, both personally<br>and academically, no matter what your area<br>of interest.
