General Certificate in Practical Ethics
Note: For purposes of meeting certificate
requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits.
York University students may earn a General
Certificate in Practical Ethics in addition to fulfilling the requirements
for a bachelor's degree. Practical ethics is an exciting new area
of multidisciplinary study and research which provides the opportunity
to apply ethical concepts and principles to contemporary social
issues. The courses offered as part of the General Certificate
in Practical Ethics enable students to address questions of applied
ethics and public policy in the fields of anthropology, economics,
environmental studies, humanities, philosophy, political science,
social science and sociology.
To qualify for the General Certificate in Practical
Ethics, students must complete 24 credits and the cumulative grade
point average on these 24 credits must be at least 5.0 (C+). Course
requirements for the General Certificate in Practical Ethics are
as follows:
- AS/PHIL 2070 3.0 and AS/PHIL 2075 3.0 (or
equivalents);
- and 18 additional credits from the list of
designated courses, of which, at least six credits must be taken
at the 3000 or 4000 level. These 18 credits must be chosen so
as to ensure a focus.
A maximum of six credits may be taken at the
1000 level. 12 of the 24 credits must be taken outside the Philosophy
Department.
Students must register for the certificate,
and written approval of a member of the advisory group for the
certificate must be obtained. Such approval is conditional on the
student submitting an acceptable written justification of their
intended course selection. Equivalent courses must be approved
by the coordinator. Students must indicate their intention to pursue
the certificate by completing an enrolment form available from
the Philosophy Department.
