Recommendations

It is recommended that the 200- and 300-level courses listed above be taken in the first two years of study. It is highly recommended that students take Philosophy 279 or 377 to complement Mathematics 271. Students should consult with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis throughout their program.

It is recommended that students include an international component in their program. Consult the Undergraduate Director for details.

Concentrations

Students may focus their program on one of two areas of interest by including a specified set of courses into their Major or Honours degree. Successful completion will mean that the area of concentration will appear on the transcript. Students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. Consultation with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis is highly recommended.
