Notes

1. Students are urged to declare for the Minor at an early stage in their degree. However, provided they have kept up with the requirements on their own, they may declare for the Minor as late as the start of the final term of their studies.
2. Students are responsible for ensuring that they have the prerequisites for any of the courses on this list.
3. It is possible to have a course not currently listed count towards their elective course requirements, provided that the desired course has substantial global content. In this case, however, students must have the prior written approval of the Department of Political Science.
4. With respect to the total number of courses permitted at any given level, students remain subject to the limitations imposed by the faculty and department in which they are registered.
