Distribution of disciplines
A student must choose courses from
two different disciplines
to satisfy credit requirements within the categories of Humanities and Social Sciences (e.g. two PSC courses cannot be used to fulfill the Social Sciences requirement). The same discipline
MAY
be used for both ART courses
.
This rule no longer applies to SAGE students
(Faculty approved December 2010)Slide5
Distribution of disciplines
Also, a student
may not
use courses from the same discipline to satisfy credit requirements
across
the categories of the Arts, Humanities or Social
Sciences.
If
an ENG course is used for an ART requirement, an ENG course may not also be used for the student’s HUM requirement
.
Does not apply to SAGE students
(Approved December 2010)Slide6

WRI-2 courses MAY also satisfy another LAC requirement! (examples: ENG 200, HIS 211, REL 204 and many others)Slide12
