Notes:

  • History 201 and Philosophy 201 are recommended but are not part of the Major Field.
  • Philosophy 517 can be repeated for credit. If a student only takes it once, it cannot be used to count toward satisfying Requirement 2.
  • It is recommended that students include 1.0 full-course equivalents in Mathematics as well as 1.0 full-course equivalents in another Science in first year.
  • Students may find the following courses of interest: Science, Technology and Society 201, 325, 591.
  • For the “Science Requirement,” some courses in Archaeology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology and Geophysics, and Psychology are restricted to majors in those programs or have other enrolment restrictions applied to them. History and Philosophy of Science majors wishing to take restricted courses in these programs may find it advantageous to be registered in a combined degree with a major in the relevant program.
  • For the “Science Requirement,” fulfilling all the prerequisites for some 400-level courses in some programs will require the completion of more than three full-course equivalents. Please consult this Calendar and the Schedule of Classes for course prerequisites and restrictions.
