Cambrian's Degree Breadth Elective Roster
In order to satisfy the breadth requirements stipulated by the Post Secondary Education Quality Assessment Board, all Degree programs must include degree breadth elective courses. These elective courses are intended to encourage you to explore a broad range of personal and societal topics and to develop self-understanding as well as critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. The degree breadth electives will help you in your future vocation in that they are intended to help you meet the changing demands of working and living in Canada’s ever-changing and diverse society. Anonymized copies of student work (essays, exams and other) submitted in courses may be made available to the External Expert Review Panel members as a part of the quality assurance process for academic degree programs in Ontario.
Depending on the program, you may need to take a specific number of lower-level and upper-level courses, as well as a combination from the following categories: Humanities, Global Cultures, Sciences and Social Sciences.
