Dear Students: We wish to take this opportunity to welcome new and returning students to the Department and wish you an outstanding educational experience and every success in your academic endeavours. Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer to the Department, this brochure is intended to assist you in your course selection and program planning for 2009-2010. It is designed to complement the departmental information outlined in the Faculty of Arts section of the Undergraduate Calendar. Indeed, it is more up to date than the calendar, and should be your basic reference about departmental programs. This brochure focuses on the requirements and regulations of each of the departmental programs. It is your responsibility to be informed and to adhere to the requirements and regulations of your program and to select your courses in accordance with these rules. It is also your responsibility to comply with the Faculty of Arts regulations which appear in the Faculty of Arts section of the Calendar.
