Notes:

  1. Honours Social Development Studies students may select only one Honours specialization.
  2. All courses taken towards the Cultural Diversity Specialization as listed above will count towards the student's Social Development Studies major average. If achievement in the non-major courses causes a drop below the major average requirements, students will normally be allowed to continue in the Social Development Studies major but without the specialization.
  3. Other courses may be considered as approved upon written request to, and written confirmation from, the Chair of Social Development Studies.
