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.
- Renamed subject codes will count towards the same requirement that they applied to when they were active. For example, COMMST was SPCOM and courses taken under the SPCOM subject code will count towards the Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts requirement. See previous Calendars.
- Because Professional Development (PD) 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.
