History & Philosophy of Science

All History and Philosophy of Science
and Technology courses are designed
to be accessible to students majoring
in other programs and students will get
most benefit from their program if they
major in a science along with HPS. The
program is useful for elementary and
secondary school teaching, museum and
library work, science writing and editing,
law and other fields where competence
in both science and humanities is
valuable.

Hungarian Studies
Hungarian studies focus on the history,
language, literature, and culture of
Hungary and on the international role of
Hungary and Hungarians – particularly
on Hungarian immigration to Canada.
For many of the courses, no prior
knowledge of Hungarian is necessary,
making them easily accessible to
students in other programs.

Islamic Studies – see Religion
Italian Studies
To study Italian is not only to acquire a
language, but also to study rich literature
and a many-sided culture which have
played an important, and sometimes
dominant, role in Western civilization.
For Canadians, the Italian contribution
bears a special significance: the vast
influx of Italians has brought changes in
our way of life and a living presence to
reinforce traditional Italian influences,
thus enriching the meaning of the term
Canadian. Italian combines well with
other modern languages and literatures,
and other programs such as European
Studies, Literary Studies and Mediaeval
and Renaissance Studies, but is by no
means restricted to these.

Latin American Studies
Latin American Studies is for students
in the social sciences and humanities
who seek a deeper understanding of the
Latin American regions, their histories,
cultures and societies. Courses encourage
students to situate their special interests
in fields such as anthropology, political
science, geography, history or sociology
within a broader interdisciplinary
framework, while at the same time
committing themselves to an emphasis
upon the languages and the historical
and cultural experiences of Spanish and
Portuguese America.
