A. Faculty of Arts Requirements

Students must adhere to the applicable Faculty of Arts requirements in 3.4 Graduation.

B. Major-Field Requirements

Students must successfully complete a minimum of 8.0 and a maximum of 10.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of Urban Studies while fulfilling the following requirements:

1. Core Courses: 3.0 full-course equivalents including:

(a) 1.5 FCE from Urban Studies 253 and 591: Geography 351;

(b) 1.5 FCE from Anthropology 379; Canadian Studies 355; Economics 365; Political Science 425; Sociology 355; Urban Studies 311.

2. Research Methods: 2.0 full-course equivalents from the "Research Methods for Urban Studies" (listed under Field of Urban Studies) with:

(a) Exactly 1.0 full-course equivalent from any one of the “Qualitative Methods,” “Quantitative Methods” or “Geospatial Methods” lists; and

(b) The other 1.0 full-course equivalent can be distributed in any way from the remaining two “Quantitative Methods” lists.

3. Urban Studies Options: 3.0 full-course equivalents from the “Field of Urban Studies”.

Notes:

  • Other courses with a strong urban component may be approved by the Program Co-ordinator.
  • The following courses are prerequisites for many of the senior courses in the program. It is strongly recommended to include Geography 231, Anthropology 203, and Sociology 201 as early as possible in the program. Failure to do so will significantly impact students' choices. Students may also wish to consider Economics 201 and 203 and Political Science 321.
C. Degree Options

The BA in Urban Studies can be taken with Co-operative Education. See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.

Notes:

  • Students should pay close attention to course prerequisites when making their course selections.
  • Some courses may only be offered in alternate years so students should take care to plan their courses beyond the immediate year. Students should consult the Urban Studies Director when making their course selections.
