Introduction
University College offers a number of programs and courses outside the areas
traditionally covered by departments. These include programs and courses in Drama,
Canadian Studies, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, Peace
and Conflict Studies, and Sexual Diversity Studies, in addition to 199Y Seminars, and
introductory courses for non-specialists in such areas as mathematics, physics, and
architecture. The overall aims of the College Program are to foster interdisciplinary work
in significant areas of study and to encourage intellectual breadth. Many program courses
are open to students not enrolled in the programs themselves.
The Canadian Studies Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) offers opportunities to study
the structure of Canadian culture and society in an interdisciplinary manner and to
explore the ways in which cultural, social, economical and political developments are
linked and how they vary geographically in this diverse country. Students in the
Specialist and Major programs select four courses from within one of several themes listed
below and they are encouraged to consider additional courses in Aboriginal Studies in
completing the requirements of the Program. A student who wishes to create a new
"theme" which best meets her/his interests is encouraged to discuss it with the
Program Director.
The Cognitive Science Program (Specialist, Major) is an interdisciplinary exploration
of the nature of cognition, drawing on the perspectives of Philosophy, Psychology, and
Linguistics.
The Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence Program (Specialist) is an
interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of cognition, drawing mainly on the
perspectives of Philosophy, Computer Science, and Psychology.
The Drama Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) is described elsewhere in this Calendar,
under Drama.
The Peace and Conflict Studies Program (Specialist and Major) provides undergraduates
with an interdisciplinary education in the causes of human conflict and strategies for its
resolution; topics of study include war, revolution, rebellion, ethnic strife,
international law, and negotiation theory.
The Sexual Diversity Studies Program (Minor) allows students to focus on questions of
sexual identity, difference, and dissidence across disciplinary lines and cultural
frameworks.
UNI and DRM courses are staffed by a combination of specific program staff members and
members of various University departments, and are open to all students of the University.
Handbooks describing University College courses and programs in more detail are available
from the College.
