In order to ensure compliance with the Accreditation Rules, all Complementary Studies choices are subject to approval by the Chair of the School's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC); however, in order to simplify this process and to clarify by example, the list below has been pre-approved. Note that these courses may require prerequisites, which can be fulfilled by another Complementary Studies elective. Also, in some cases, permission of the department in question must be obtained prior to registration.
The School encourages students to choose their electives so that they complement each other. Taking the appropriate prerequisites can open up many interesting courses.
Note: these course have been deemed to cover ideas and techniques
that are in the ``mainstream'' of the humanities. Courses intented to
teach specific skills (such as ENGL 214-3 and FPA 120-3), that don't
contain sufficient ``analysis'' (such as BISC 003-3), or are too focussed
on a specific application (such as KIN 140-3 and CRIM 151-3) are generally
not acceptable in this category.
Unacceptable Courses for Complementary Studies
The following list of courses will not be accepted as
Complementary Studies electives; they have been judged to be either too
technical or to overlap too much with other required courses.
Courses on the Impact of Technology on Society
All students must take one course in this category. Please see the UCC
Chair if you intend to fulfill this requirement with a course not on the
list below. Please note that effective 97-3, ENSC 100-3 fulfills this requirement.
Courses on the Central Issues, Methodology and Thought Processes
All students must take one course in this category. Please see the UCC
Chair if you intend to fulfill this requirement with a course not on the
list below.
Other Courses
The remaining Complementary Studies requirements can be fulfilled with a
wide variety of courses, including all of those in Sections 2.0 and 3.0 as
well as those listed below. Please see the UCC Chair if you intend to
fulfill these requirements with a course not listed in any of the three
final sections of this document.
