Notes:

It is suggested first-year Canadian Studies Majors select Canadian Studies 201 and at least 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) from among the following courses: History 211 or 213; Political Science 201; Sociology 205; Geography 205; Indigenous Studies 201; Film 201; Economics 201, 203; Law and Society 201; Development Studies 201; Science, Technology and Society 201.
A maximum of 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) may be used in language courses. Culture courses offered in English by language departments cannot be used toward language courses. Students should select a language of study that will assist them with their research on an understanding of Canadian Studies. Students are strongly advised to take language courses in French and Indigenous Languages to complement their programs.
It is strongly recommended that students take at least 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) in courses labelled Canadian Studies because these courses adopt an explicitly interdisciplinary approach. These courses should normally be chosen from the student's thematic clusters in 4.34.
