Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies
The Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies (BMS) degree offers a distinct multidisciplinary learning opportunity that allows students to pursue areas of study that may be unrelated, cultivates an approach to problem-solving that appreciates and utilizes diverse perspectives and knowledge, and fosters an appreciation and thirst for lifelong learning. Recognizing the diverse needs, interests and experiences of our multigenerational learners, the BMS program allows for flexibility in acceptance of transfer credit and other college-level learning outside the traditional classroom. The curriculum complements and connects prior learning and the discipline-specific learning students select as part of their degree program.

PHIL 3480 PHILOSOPHY OF RACE (3 credits)
Where does the concept of race come from? Where did the racial categories on the US census come from? How has the concept of race influenced scientific theories? Do empirical findings of genetic differences between racial groups show that races are biologically real? Why are racial categories used in medicine? Can all health disparities between races be explained by social factors? Is some particular concept of race necessary for political and social opposition to racism? The course will involve reading original articles and book extracts from a range of disciplines, including history, philosophy, and several sciences. These articles will be explained and discussed in class through a philosophical lens. The course aims to provide students with the philosophical tools and concepts to think about race and racism in a nuanced and reflective way.
