POL-4515 prerequisites

We couldn't read this course's prerequisites into a chain. The wording is under “Requisite courses” below.

Where POL-4515 counts

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

  • POL 4-YEAR BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
  • POL HONOURS BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
  • UIC 4-YEAR BA IN URBAN AND INNER-CITY STUDIES
  • UIC HONOURS BA IN URBAN AND INNER-CITY 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.

Description

This course seeks to explain the emergence and the character of inner cities, and to evaluate proposed solutions to inner city problems. Some attention is paid to the literature on American inner cities; we focus intensively on Winnipeg's inner city. The course features a 3 hour per week practicum requirement with an inner city community-based organization, and the conducting of original, primary research on an inner city topic.

Requisite courses

One 3 credit hour course in Area 5, City and Community Politics, or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
