Humanities
Note: For purposes of meeting program requirements,
all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major
or minor.
Students may count a maximum of six humanities
credits at the 1000 level for credit towards the major/minor in
humanities.
Enrolment in 3000-level humanities courses requires
the fulfilment of one of the following requirements: a previous
humanities course or permission of the instructor. 3000-level humanities
courses with these prerequisite requirements will be clearly identified
in the Humanities Supplemental Calendar. Failure to satisfy the
listed prerequisite requirement will result in being denied access
to the course and/or de-enrolment from the course.
A number of courses in humanities were designed
as creative writing courses intended to accommodate students with
specific interests in that area. These courses are AS/HUMA 3640
6.0, AS/HUMA 4630 6.0, AS/HUMA 4640 6.0, none of which may count
toward a degree in humanities, nor satisfy the interdisciplinary
requirements of the Faculty of Arts.
Students wishing to major or minor in humanities
must contact the director of Undergraduate Studies, 203 Vanier
College, in order to discuss their proposed program of study and
arrange for a program adviser with congruent academic interests.
The following interdisciplinary Honours programs
are associated with the Division of Humanities: classical studies,
creative writing, East Asian studies, European studies, Latin American
and Caribbean studies, religious studies, and science and society.
Each of these programs are designed to permit students to follow
a flexible curriculum of studies with various departments and other
area studies programs, along with interdisciplinary courses in
the division. For more information, please consult the listings
for specific interdisciplinary programs.
