PHIL-3101 prerequisites

We couldn't read this course's prerequisites into a chain. The wording is under “Requisite courses” below.

Where PHIL-3101 counts

Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

PHIL 3-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY
PHIL 4-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY
PHIL 4-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY (STUDENT DIRECTED STREAM)
PHIL HONOURS BA IN PHILOSOPHY
PHIL HONOURS BA IN PHILOSOPHY (STUDENT DIRECTED HONOURS PROGRAM)

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
