New College

Introduction

New College courses have in common a commitment to be explorative and inventive and to widen students’ experience by critically examining relationships among academic disciplines. These courses take their place within our various Specialist, Major and Minor programs. These programs are open to all students in the University.

Integration of student experience is a major concern in a college with students from all faculties in the University. The Independent Studies courses provide an opportunity for students to design their own programs and to test their analytic, synthetic, and creative skills by writing a thesis. The Service Learning Program, that includes both course-based and independent service learning opportunities, allows students to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical experience, while engaging in meaningful work in campus and community organizations.

The African Studies Program
(Specialist, Major, Minor) offers opportunities to study the people, ideas and knowledge, cultures and institutions of Africa and African diasporas through interdisciplinary lenses. The courses are drawn from humanities, social sciences and sciences. The core courses deal with subjects such as African history and systems of thought, development, African innovations, the slave trade, colonialism, African diasporas, African international relations, health, humanitarianism and politics.

The Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health Program
(Minor) allows students to choose from a wide range of courses on mind, consciousness, cognitive science, psychology of religion, health psychology, and sociological analyses of physical and mental health to acquire an understanding of the contributions of Buddhism to the modern understanding of consciousness, mental health and illness, and determinants of physical health.

The Caribbean Studies Program
(Specialist, Major, Minor) Offers students an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Caribbean history, society, economy and culture. In addition to core offerings, students can also directly engage the Caribbean through courses drawn from history, literature, women and gender studies, Spanish and Portuguese.

The Equity Studies Program
(Major) An interdisciplinary approach to social justice theories and practices in a variety of local and global contexts. Areas of study include disability, anti-racism, social advocacy, global food systems, global health and transnational labour. In addition to core courses, students are required to take equity courses from other programs and departments across the university.

The Human Biology Programs
offer a broad education in life sciences with courses offered by departments in both the Faculties of Arts and Science, and Medicine (see Human Biology section of the Calendar.)

The Paradigms and Archetypes Program
(Minor) provides opportunities for undergraduates in discipline-based programs to access, through a comparative analysis of primary sources, the structure and dynamics of “paradigms”: archetypal narratives, assumptions, myths, fantasies, analytical protocols and methodologies which govern the conduct of disciplines in every field and all cultures.

The Women and Gender Studies Program
(Specialist, Major, Minor) provides an interdisciplinary and culturally inclusive approach to understanding gender (see Women and Gender Studies section of the Calendar.)
