Communications Courses
The ability to communicate adequately, both orally and in writing, is developed within
each department's curriculum in a variety of ways, including the evaluation of
written reports and of oral presentations.
There are also courses designed specifically to improve a student's communication
skills. Some of these are listed below. Some language courses - courses in Chinese,
French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Italian - may also qualify as courses
in communication. Use of any one of these language courses must be approved in advance by
the Operations Committee.

Humanities and Social Sciences
Students are free to choose from among the Humanities and Social Science courses
listed below; the only constraints will be imposed by timetable conflicts and
prerequisites specified for the courses themselves. Linkage courses offered in the Faculty
of Applied Science also qualify as H&SS courses, but can only be counted once.
Descriptions of the courses listed here can be found in the Calendar of the Faculty of Arts
and Science.
Appeal can be made to the Operations Committee for permission to take any course
offered by the University not listed here as an H&SS Complementary Study elective.
However courses in the Languages confined to conversation skills or technical translation
may not be used to satisfy the requirements in this group of Complementary Studies.

Completing the Requirements for Complementary Studies
Most of the programs in the Faculty have courses in Complementary Studies built into
the Core of the curriculum, and/or have portions of technical courses assigned to topics
in Complementary Studies.
If the requirements for Linkage, H&SS, and Economics have been satisfied, and the
total number of AU including the Complementary Studies in the Core is less than 225 AU,
the balance of the studies can be satisfied by any of the course listed above, or any of
the following:
