Students who are applying for the language requirement exemption should take an additional 1.0 credit in elective courses instead.

** Students are strongly encouraged to take a First Year Seminar (FYSM), though it is not mandatory.

Note: Language Requirement — Students choosing the Africa and Globalisation Specialization or Stream must fulfill their language requirement with a language relevant to Africa other than English. The Program Director will maintain a list of those languages suitable for this requirement.
