Program Requirements
NOTE: THE JOINT HONOURS COMPONENT IN PHILOSOPHY AND WESTERN RELIGIONS IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE 2011-2012 ACADEMIC YEAR.
Students who wish to study at the Honours level in two Arts disciplines may apply to combine Joint Honours program components from two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs". Prior to registering for each Joint Honours component, students should consult an adviser in each department for approval of their course selection.
The Joint Honours Component Philosophy and Western Religions was designed for students who wish (i) to explore the intertwined intellectual worlds of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the interaction between philosophy and religion from Antiquity to the Enlightenment and (ii) to acquire the linguistic and conceptual tools allowing them to read source texts in the original languages, and to conduct research in the areas investigated by the interdisciplinary program. Students will benefit most from the Joint Honours if they combine it with a program in Philosophy, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, Religious Studies, or Classics. Students are also encouraged to complete a minor concentration in one of the languages relevant to the academic field.
According to Faculty regulations, Joint Honours students must maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and maintain a minimum program GPA of 3.00.
Students are strongly encouraged to consult an adviser each year to devise a suitable course combination.
