Contact the Undergraduate Programs Office for information on approved substitutes.
  3. Asian electives should be chosen from courses in culture, history, political science, economics and geography (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) relating to their area of interest. As available and appropriate courses will vary from year to year, students should consult the Undergraduate Office for approval of Asian electives. Students in the Chinese stream may be required to take more Asian electives depending on their language competency. See Language Streams(Chinese).
