Notes:
- Other courses with a strong urban component may be approved by the Program Co-ordinator.
- The following courses are prerequisites for many of the senior courses in the program. It is strongly recommended to include Geography 231, Anthropology 203, and Sociology 201 as early as possible in the program. Failure to do so will significantly impact students' choices. Students may also wish to consider Economics 201 and 203 and Political Science 321.
