Philosophy
All 1000- and 2000-level courses in philosophy
are open to all students in the university. None of them has any
prerequisites or corequisites, and they all count towards fulfilling
the major degree requirements. The1000-level courses provide a
general introduction to philosophy, and the 2000-level courses
are also introductory but focus on a specific philosophical question
or problem. Many 3000-level courses have a 2000-level course in
that area of philosophy as a prerequisite. Check course descriptions
for prerequisites or contact the philosophy department for more
details.
While there are no particular courses required
for the philosophy degree, it is strongly recommended that honours
majors take the following courses: AS/PHIL 2010 3.0, AS/PHIL 2015
3.0, AS/PHIL 2020 3.0, AS/PHIL 2025 3.0, and AS/PHIL 2100 3.0.
All majors should also consult the undergraduate program director
concerning course selection and design of individual programs.
