Electives provide graduates with the skills and knowledge to succeed in all life paths, not just in their chosen career field.
Elective courses cultivate critical and creative thinking skills, civic engagement and knowledge of the broader world of arts, culture and science.
Become an engaged citizen, aware of yourself and the world around you, confident, curious and ready to make your mark.
Our requirements follow mandates from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities' Framework for Programs of Instruction (pdf) and the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board’s (PEQAB) Manual for Public Organizations (pdf).
