Additional information for students


  1. The ★42 required in I. above represent the minimum. Up to ★60 from the courses listed above may be used to count on the major. Those seeking to enter graduate school are encouraged to take the maximum.
  2. Global and Development Studies is an interdisciplinary program that requires the completion of a selection of courses from a variety of disciplines. Some of these courses have junior prerequisites, which should be taken in the student’s first year. Some courses have senior pre- or corequisites. Further details about individual courses may be found in Course Listings .
  3. While participation in international programs is highly encouraged, it is possible to satisfy all the requirements locally or within Canada. It is strongly encouraged that a student who stays in this region find a cultural experience different from their own background, whether on a First Nation’s reserve or in the Inner-city or in a rural community.
  4. Many senior courses are offered in alternate years only.
