LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS 

PSYCHOLOGY 

The Committee wished to emphasise the value and usefulness of PSYCH 210-3 

to students taking PLP and the fact that it is an important prerequisite 

to Psychology Upper Division Courses. 

This changes the minimum numbers of Lower Division Psychology credits 

from 

hours to 12 hours. 

LINGUISTICS 

It has not been possible For several reasons to maintain LING 100 as the 

introductory course to the PLP programme. 

As they stand, the LING. Lower Division requirements involve some 

hidden prerequisites. LING 100 is not a prerequisite to any Upper 

Division courses. 

With the addition of LING. 222, all lower division LING courses that 

are prerequisites to Upper Level courses are included. 

CONSEQUENCE and CHANGE: Total MIN number of Lower Division LING 

credit requirements changes from 9 to 12 

PHILOSOPHY 

Change in credit allocation only as a result of calendar changes 

introduced by the Philosophy Dept. and approved by Senate. 

Involves change of total Lower Division Credit hours in Philosophy 

from 

to 10

RATIONALE: 

The Committee decided that since 1) PHIL 210-4 Elementary Formal Logic 

is already a requirement for the programme 2) PHIL 340-3 Philosophical 

• ? 

Methods is a general upper division required course in Philosophy and 

3) PHIL 340-3 is most relevant to our programme it would be better to 

reduce the amount of Logic courses required in order to enable the 

introduction of a Methods course which has the simultaneous advantage 

of handling another 'hidden' prerequisite.
