ABOUT THE ETHICS, SOCIETY AND LAW PROGRAM

The Ethics, Society & Law (ES&L) Program engages students across disciplines and teaches them how to ask questions, think critically, conduct wide-ranging research and take meaningful action. The humanities, social sciences and natural sciences all provide useful lenses for thinking about the world. Students are required to cover core areas in each stream, but can select their own areas of focus from many optional courses.

​

ES&L is the only undergraduate program in Canada that integrates the three fields that give the program its name. Trinity College has been sponsoring the ES&L program on behalf of the Faculty of Arts & Science since 1988.

ES&L is open to all students in the Faculty of Arts & Science on the St. George campus, regardless of college affiliation. For first-year students, Trinity College offers the Ethics, Society & Law stream in the Margaret MacMillan Trinity One Program.
