Joint Honours Philosophy

A Joint Honours academic plan with Philosophy may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered, or with many Honours majors in other Faculties.

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of 60% and a cumulative Philosophy average of 75%.

Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Philosophy academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:

  1. Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 20 academic course units (40 courses). If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
    Note: In practice, depending on the number of units required by the second discipline (e.g., overall and for the major) and the number of electives that students choose to take, more than 20 academic course units may be necessary for graduation.
  2. Philosophy Plan-level requirements:
    • at least seven academic course units (14 courses) in Philosophy with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
  3. Plan-level requirements for the second major.

Note:

PHIL 145, 200J, 216, 218J, 221, 240, 250A, and 250B are offered regularly. The other courses listed above also satisfy plan requirements, but are only offered from time to time. For details on current courses, visit the Philosophy website.
