Law and Social Thought Certificate

Certificates are designed to allow you to complete a coherent grouping of degree-credit courses at university level as either part of or independent from a full degree program. The number of courses required for any given certificate varies upon the subject area and specialization.

Offered by the Department of Philosophy, the Certificate in Law and Social Thought studies law within both a humanities and a social science context. Courses treat law as an evolving enterprise, in which moral argument, distinctive, interpretative practices, and force are applied to the organization of social life. Some course offerings emphasize the moral and philosophical dimensions that inform legal life and link the study of law with social and political thought. Others focus on legal institutions: how they yield regulation and socially sanctioned force, and how they interact with society.

What's more, students at Glendon are given the opportunity to become fluent in both English and French.

Please note: the Certificate in Law and Social Thought
is not a pre-law preparatory program.

Who can take it?

This certificate is open only to currently registered York students pursuing a degree.
