多学科的想法
The idea of a multidisciplinary, or liberal arts and sciences, education began in the middle ages with the identification of skills that the informed citizen would need, the trivium (skills in grammar, rhetoric and logic) and the quadrivium (in those days identified as arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music). Today these subjects, and the arts and sciences that have branched from them over the past 800 years, form the core of the faculties identified as the social sciences and humanities, and the sciences and environmental studies. Many students today are interested in a variety of disciplines for their undergraduate study, especially those who plan to go on to postgraduate professional training in areas such as law, teaching, business and the health professions. The Honours Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (Interdisciplinary Studies Major) allows students to identify two specializations from Social Sciences and Humanities and/or Science and Environmental Studies disciplines, along with interdisciplinary Inquiry courses and a wide range of electives so as to obtain significant grounding in both arts and sciences. Alternatively, students may choose a major in Anthropology, Criminology, English, Environmental Sustainability, Geography, or Media Studies, with electives providing interdisciplinary perspectives and well-rounded arts and science coverage. Students will also be able to sample up to two courses from the various professional faculties. The breadth of a liberal arts and sciences education is an asset for any number of careers, but it is particularly valuable for those who plan to become teachers. The two concurrent degrees, the HBASc/BEd and the BASc/BEd are designed for those wishing to become Primary-Junior teachers, since they include a wide range of subjects and subject matter that will give an excellent foundation for primary education. Careful course selection will enable students, upon completion of this degree, to pursue the additional qualifications necessary to teach at other levels of intermediate and secondary education. <br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – This course is offered online and will continue on campus later.
