Note: Students intending to pursue graduate studies in Drama are reminded that most Canadian universities require a reading knowledge of at least one modern language other than English; in this respect, students are advised to exercise their options to their best advantage.

Note: Non-Drama Options are to be selected from courses offered by departments other than Drama. Fine Arts Options may be any courses in Dance, Art, Music, Fine Arts or Film, or senior courses in Drama.

Students are encouraged to develop related programs of study by selecting option courses from each of a few areas rather than isolated courses from many areas.
