The UTM Department of Philosophy offers a minor program in Ethics, Law, and Society, a perfect opportunity for students interested in the intersection of philosophy with law and the social sciences.
Through this program, students will gain a deeper understanding of ethical theories and their application in various social contexts, and of particular ethical issues that arise in areas such as health care, the environment, legal systems and political institutions. Students are required to take courses in introductory philosophy, ethics and value theory, as well as within the general Social Sciences. Courses should be selected in consultation with the Faculty Advisor.
