One credit in either the Health Sciences, Social Sciences, or Math & Science Only under exceptional circumstances and with special permission from the department will applicants who are majoring in Philosophy or already have a degree with a major (or combined major) in Philosophy be admitted. This certificate provides an overview for interested people who do not wish to proceed to a degree or those who have already obtained a degree with a major other than Philosophy. Studies include the development of skills, such as assessing and evaluating ethical and moral arguments, generating principles of conduct, developing humane practices and policies, empathizing, abstracting the core from the periphery, questioning, accommodating, compromising, and self-presentation. The Certificate in Ethics would be of particular interest to teachers, lawyers, social workers, therapists, psycho-therapists, counsellors, people who train volunteers, personnel managers, union organizers and market consultants who wish to add to existing qualifications or to acquire courses which might later be applied to a degree. Three PHIL credits numbered 2 (alpha)00 or above Students in other disciplines can obtain a Minor in Philosophy within their degree program by completing the following courses with a minimum 60 percent overall average: Two PHIL credits numbered 3 (alpha)90 or above Two PHIL credits numbered 2 (alpha)90 or above One and one-half PHIL credits numbered 2 (alpha)00 or above It should be noted that not all departments/centres provide a combined major option. For requirements in the other discipline, the student should consult the relevant department/centre. Students may take a combined major in Philosophy and a second discipline. Satisfactory completion of the first three years of the Honours program entitles a student to apply for a Pass degree. Three PHIL credits numbered 3 (alpha)90 or above Three PHIL credits numbered 2 (alpha)90 or above Two and one-half PHIL credits numbered 2 (alpha)00 or above Two elective credits (see program note 3) In some circumstances, in order to meet university degree and program requirements, more than 15 or 20 credits may be taken. In 15 credit degree programs a maximum of eight credits may be numbered 1 (alpha)00 to 1 (alpha)99 at least three credits must be numbered 2 (alpha)90 or above and the remaining credits must be numbered 2 (alpha)00 or above. In 20 credit degree programs a maximum of eight credits may be numbered 1 (alpha)00 to 1 (alpha)99 at least three credits must be numbered 2 (alpha)90 or above at least three credits must be numbered 3 (alpha)90 or above and the remaining credits must be numbered 2 (alpha)00 or above. Students contemplating Graduate Studies in Philosophy should consider taking at least one second language credit. Some Year 4 courses will be offered conjointly with correspondingly numbered year 5 (graduate level) courses. A student will not be permitted to take more than one introductory Year 1 course. Though different in content and emphasis, PHIL 1F91, 1F93, 1F94, 1F95, 1F96 and 1F97 are no more advanced than 1F90.
Students are encouraged to investigate critically and dialectically their own views and values.Īll courses numbered 1F90 through 1F97 are introductory PHIL courses. Students study not only the primary texts of the Western philosophical tradition, but also major texts of Indian and Chinese thought. Philosophy, defined as the pursuit of wisdom, encompasses the exploration of the nature of reality, consciousness, values, knowledge, reason, argument and evidence.
