Taking POL-2400 is a prerequisite for 1 course directly.

Where POL-2400 counts

Required by 2 programs:

  • POL 4-YEAR BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
  • POL HONOURS BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE

Counts toward 4 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • CJ 3-YEAR BA IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
  • CJ 4 YEAR BA IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
  • CRS 3-YEAR BA IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION STUDIES
  • CRS 4-YEAR BA IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION STUDIES

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
