Trinity College


Introduction

Trinity College offers Trinity One, a set of first-year courses, an independent studies program, and three inter-disciplinary programs: Ethics, Society, and Law; Immunology; International Relations. The Major Program in Ethics, Society, and Law assembles courses offered by a variety of Departments and Colleges, including History, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, and Woodsworth College. The Specialist and Major Programs in Immunology are assembled from offerings by the Departments of Biochemistry, Immunology, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. The International Relations Program encompasses courses offered by the Departments of History, Political Science, and Economics.

Trinity One

Trinity One provides first-year students with the opportunity to explore together significant issues and ideas pertaining to the conduct of human life and world affairs. There are two streams in Trinity One, each linked to a prominent aspect of the College’s intellectual identity. One of the streams focuses on international relations, the other on ethics. Each stream includes two seminar courses limited to 25 students. These courses foster small-group discussion and emphasize the development of critical-thinking, oral-presentation, writing and research skills. Co-curricular events, drawing upon the resources of the Munk Centre for International Studies at Trinity College and the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics (located at Trinity), enable students in both streams of Trinity One to hear guest speakers and to engage in informal conversation with one another and with their professors.

Trinity College Programs

Ethics, Society, and Law Major (Arts program)

In this program, students examine some of the difficult ethical questions facing modern society, particularly those concerning the law. For example, should assisted suicide be a crime? Should polygamy be legalized in Canada? Should the law permit the testing of in vitro embryos for genetic diseases?  Should the law permit the sale or rental of violent video games to minors? The program includes optional courses in philosophy, religion, anthropology, classics, economics, geography, political science, sociology and criminology, and draws upon the resources of the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics, located at Trinity College. Ethics, Society, and Law students acquire knowledge and skills that equip them to think in a well-informed and well-reasoned way about complex social issues with ethical and legal dimensions.    The program prepares them for reflective and engaged citizenship in a democratic, pluralistic society and in a world of global interconnections.

The Ethics, Society, and Law Major is a Type 2 limited enrolment program. Enrolment is limited to students with an overall average of 73% or higher in 3 FCEs (at the end of first year) selected from courses that are categorized as BR=2 and/or BR=3. For students applying at the end of second year, a minimal overall average of 73% is required in 3 FCEs, as follows: (a) PHL271H1, (b) 2.5 FCEs from other courses that count towards the program including at least 0.5 FCE from: POL200Y1, PHL265H1, PHL275H1, ETH201H1, ETH210H1, ETH220H1, and ETH230H1. In either case, achieving the threshold mark does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year. Applications beyond second year will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Independent Studies

Independent Studies

Consult Professor C. Kanaganayakam, room 312, Larkin Building, Trinity College (416-978-8250).

The College’s Independent Studies Program affords students the opportunity of investigating in depth topics of their own choice that are not directly part of the present curriculum. These topics normally involve interdisciplinary study, though under some circumstances they may require concentrated work in a single discipline. The scope of acceptable topics embraces the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. Participation in the program is restricted to students who have completed at least ten courses. The maximum number of independent studies half courses for which a student may receive credit is one, and the maximum number of independent studies full courses for which a student may receive credit is two. Thus the maximum number of independent studies full course equivalents for which a student may receive credit is 2.5. Normally the work done is to be the equivalent of two full courses. Permission to register in an independent studies half course, or in an independent studies full course, will normally be granted only to students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50. Permission to undertake an independent studies project for the equivalent of two full courses will normally be granted only to students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.70.

All proposals are subject to the approval of the Coordinator.

Students must submit to the Coordinator before the beginning of the academic year a copy of their academic transcript and an outline of their topic (signed by the supervisor) and a suggested bibliography. For evaluation of the work done in the program a short thesis or equivalent is required, prepared and submitted by the last day of classes in the fall or winter session as appropriate. The supervisor and a second reader (nominated by the supervisor and approved by the Coordinator) are responsible for the evaluation. The Coordinator will require regular progress reports throughout the year. Students must have a supervisor and second reader in order to get approval for their projects.

Either the supervisor or the second reader must be a tenured University of Toronto faculty member. A supervisor who is not a tenured University of Toronto faculty member will normally be required to be a full-time faculty member of the University.
Students enrolling for the first time register for one or more of TRN300H1, TRN301Y1, TRN302Y1, or for one or more of TRN400H1, TRN404Y1, and405Y1, as appropriate. Those enrolling for a second time register in one or more of TRN400H1, TRN404Y1, and405Y1, as appropriate.

International Relations Specialist (Arts program)

The study of international relations dates back to antiquity and remains one of the most vital disciplines in the academic community. Its purpose is to explore the enduring questions of the origins of war and the maintenance of peace, the nature and exercise of power within an international system, and the changing character of the participants in international decision-making.

Drawing on the strengths of faculty members in History, Economics, and Political Science, the International Relations Specialist Program offers a structured and interdisciplinary education. The program provides students with knowledge of the historical and contemporary dimensions of the international system while introducing them to the methodologies employed in historical, political and economic analysis. 
 
The International Relations Specialist is a Type 3 program. Applicants must complete an application form including a Statement of Interest. Enrolment is limited to students with a combined average of at least 75% in the required first-year courses: (1) ECO100Y1/ECO105Y1; (2) HIS103Y1 or TRN150Y1/TRN151Y1 or two of VIC181H1, VIC183H1, VIC184H1, VIC185H1; (3) one introductory modern language course or MAT133Y1/MAT137Y1.  Achieving the threshold mark does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year.  Students who are not admitted to the program may reapply for admission in a subsequent year.
