Notes
- The Arts Undergraduate Communication Requirement courses (ARTS 130 and ARTS 140) do not fulfil any of the breadth requirements.
- No more than one academic course unit (two courses) in the same discipline may count towards the Social Sciences requirement.
- Cross-listed courses may be designated to fulfil any one requirement. For example, a student registered in PACS 203/HIST 232 may receive credit for either the Transdisciplinary Studies requirement or the Humanities requirement, but not for both.
- Language courses accepted as transfer credits (e.g., LANG) may be counted towards the Languages and Cultures requirement.
- Because Professional Development (PD) and Work-Term Report (WKRPT) courses are not regular academic courses, they do not fulfil any of the breadth requirements.
- For students enrolled in an Arts degree program prior to September 2008, refer to the Group A and B requirements. Those students who wish instead to adhere to the new Breadth Requirements (effective September 2008) may do so by petition to the Examinations and Standings Committee.
