MINOR PROGRAM IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MIND, AND SOCIETY (ARTS) - SCMIN0251

The Minor in Artificial Intelligence, Mind, and Society combines non-technical, foundational understanding of artificial intelligence technologies (including Large Language Models) and their applications, with a focus on their social and ethical impacts. Applications of AI in science, health care, finance, entertainment, and in the workplace more generally, continue to bring transformative societal changes. The collection and use of data challenges accepted norms of privacy, autonomy, and decision making. Students taking the minor will be introduced to discussions about fairness, bias in algorithms, creativity, and the long-term consequences of automation. Students will engage with longstanding philosophical debates about the nature of the mind, language and knowledge, and will also supplement this knowledge with interdisciplinary perspectives from a wide variety of complementary fields of study.

MINOR PROGRAM IN CLASSICAL STUDIES (ARTS) - SCMIN2049

Undergraduate Coordinator: (416) 287-7184 Email: hcs.advising.utsc@utoronto.ca
For more information, visit the Department of Historical and Cultural Studies website.

Classical Studies is a pluridisciplinary field dedicated to the study of the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It involves disciplines such as history, literature, religion, languages and linguistics, art history, archaeology, and philosophy and pertains to the study of wide areas of Europe, North Africa and Asia over several millennia (ca. 2000 B.C.-700 A.D.).

The expression "classical" is commonly used to designate the areas and periods populated or dominated by the Greeks and Romans. Yet it was also a complex, heterogeneous, permeable, mixed and constantly evolving world in which the Greeks and the Romans have always been intertwined with other peoples and cultures. Classical Studies at UTSC offers students both a thorough examination of the main features of the Greek and Roman civilizations and a substantial introduction to the other peoples and cultures which were part of or interacted with it. In all courses, the ancient written sources are studied in translation.

Guidelines for first-year course selection

Students who intend to complete the Minor program in Classics should include CLAA04H3 and CLAA06H3 in their first-year course selection.
For updates and detailed information regarding Classical Studies please visit the Department of Historical and Cultural Studies website.

Experiential Learning and Outreach

For a community-based experiential learning opportunity in your academic field of interest, consider the course CTLB03H3, which can be found in the Teaching and Learning section of the Calendar.

MINOR PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SCIENCE (GIS) (ARTS) - SCMIN1800

GIS is based on the integration of digital spatial data, mapping software, and spatial analysis tools. GIS has been a core method in Geographical research for almost two decades, but is also rapidly growing in importance outside Geography, in part because of the huge amounts of new spatial data being generated by ubiquitous sensors such as smartphones with GPS locators.

A growing number of research areas and careers require knowledge of GIS and cartographic presentation skills. This minor program provides training in the theory and practical application of Geographic Information Science and systems for spatial analysis, spatial data management, and cartographic representation, and is an excellent option for students pursuing Human Geography, City Studies, Critical Development Studies, Historical and Cultural Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Environmental Studies and Environmental Science.

Program Requirements
This program requires students to complete 4.0 credits as follows:

1. At least 0.5 credit from the following:
GGRA30H3 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Empirical Reasoning
EESC03H3 Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing

2. 2.5 credits as follows:
GGRB30H3 GIS Principles and Applied Mapping
GGRB32H3 GIS in Action: Processing and Analysis
GGRC30H3 Advanced GIS
