Since course schedules vary from year to year, courses may not be offered at the suggested term. You may adjust your course sequence accordingly while respecting the course(s) prerequisite(s).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This program has undergone a major reform effective as of May 1st 2022. 

Students admitted to this program of studies prior to the spring /summer 2022 term will have to be vigilant while completing their fall 2022 and winter 2023 course enrolments since the reform includes the addition of new compulsory methodology and theory courses which might have been completed under a different course code.  These are identified as “previously" within the suggested course sequence below. 

It will be important to verify your Academic Advisement Report on uoZone as these will be updated accordingly prior to the fall 2022 and winter 2023 enrolment period.

Notes

If enrolled in an Honours degree, students must add a second study module to this program. It can be a second major or a minor, and can be a discipline offered by another faculty. The course units of the second study module will replace the same number of elective course units. Go to Make changes to your undergraduate program for more information.
