| Victoria College offers VIC One, a first year sequence
of courses, and interdisciplinary programs and courses listed below
so that students have an opportunity to examine important themes and
problems of our culture from a variety of points of view. Most of the
courses introduce ideas and methods from various disciplines; in this
way students can explore areas of interest they otherwise might overlook,
and also gain insight into comparative studies.
Several of the courses have a place in the established programs of
study indicated below. In addition, the courses are designed to serve
the interests of those who, whatever their intended field of specialization,
wish to introduce variety into their program, or who have not decided
on a discipline, and wish to examine different approaches to humane
studies.
VIC One
Vic One offers first-year students an opportunity for immersion in great
books and great ideas, and training in communicating those experiences.
Drawing upon Victoria College's History and identity, Vic One has
two streams: The Frye stream emphasizes preparation for intensive study
in the humanities, while the Pearson stream concentrates on the social
sciences. Seminars, lectures, small tutorials and informal conversations
within a small-class setting focus upon the cultivation of habits, values,
and skills of expression enabling students to share their accomplishments
and experiences. Guest speakers from the academic, artistic and public
worlds enrich this Vic One experience, as does the exploration of Toronto's
cultural riches. Our location in the cultural heart of the city forms
an integral part of the educational experience we offer.
The Literary Studies Program
(Specialist, Major and Minor) combines close attention to major literary
works with theoretical reflection on the concept of literature. Students
are exposed to a wide range of texts across numerous national, linguistic,
and cultural boundaries, as well as to contemporary interdisciplinary
debates on questions of representation, language, and culture.
The Renaissance Studies Program
(Major and Minor) studies one of the high points of Western civilization,
in art and literature, in social and political development, and in the
technological and scientific discoveries that were to transform our
concept of the world. This interdisciplinary program is particularly
attractive to students of history, politics, literature, fine art, history
of science, music and theatre, because it assembles aspects of all these
studies to focus on one seminal period in Western civilization.
The Semiotics and Communication Theory Program
(Specialist, Major and Minor) investigates the science of communication
and sign systems, the ways people understand phenomena and organize
them mentally, the ways in which they devise means for transmitting
that understanding and for sharing it with others. It covers all non-verbal
signalling and extends to domains whose communicative dimension is perceived
only unconsciously or subliminally. Knowledge, meaning, intention and
action are thus fundamental concepts in the semiotic investigation of
phenomena.
World Literatures Program
This program provides an opportunity for students to take courses in
which they can familiarize themselves with the great literary works
and cultural contexts of the Eastern and Western traditions, from the
early classical texts of Greece and China right up to the modern day.
All texts not originally in English are read in translation. For information
about the Program, please consult the Principal, Victoria College.
This program is open to students who have completed four courses; it
is advisable to take JEF100Y1 as
one of the first four courses.
