Where POL-3321 counts

Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • BUS 4-YEAR BBA Concentration Stream
  • POL 4-YEAR BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
  • POL HONOURS BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE

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.
