Notes:

• Religious Studies 201, 203 and 205 are recommended.
• When Religious Studies 577 is taken, the topic chosen for the Senior Project will determine the stream in which it will be counted.
• Students are strongly advised to include in their programs relevant language courses (e.g., Classical Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, French, German) and relevant courses from other disciplines. Language courses related to a student's program of study in Religious Studies taken from inside the Department can be counted as part of the eight full-course equivalents in Religious Studies.
• In planning their programs, students should bear in mind that language courses and some senior courses are not offered every year.
