Although the choice of electives in 1983 is completely free, the
Department recommends thai students choose at least one
eleclive from each ol the three categories to ensure that the
aims ol a program of general education are achieved.
Responsibility lor the General Studies program rests with the
Board ol Studies in General Education which v»as established
by Council in 1963,
Important; As changes may be made to information provided
in this handtwok, students should frequently consult the
noliceboards of the Department of General Studies and the
official noliceboards of the University
Structure of Electives
Nature of the Program
The general education component of a professional degree
course is designed to give students some knowledge ol their
social and political environment, the interaction between
science and society, and the contribution of philosophy and the
creative arts to society. The electives are designed lor students
from a wide variety of faculties and assume no prior knowledge
of the subject concerned.
The Department of General Studies has restructured its
eleclives in 1983,
• Hall electives ate designated by a six-digil subject number.
These electives have been expanded from 21 lo 28 hours
duration and are given over one session.
• Full electives are designated by a live-digit subject number.
These electives have been expanded Irom 42 to 56 hours
duration and may be given over two sessions or compressed
into one session.
Students may complete their General Studies requirements
with any combination ol half eleclives and lull eleclives.
