Latin American Studies Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ0552 [Preview]
The Latin American Studies program at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese provides students in the social sciences and humanities an opportunity to engage and deepen their understanding of Latin American regions, their histories, politics, cultures, economies and societies. Courses encourage students to situate both their special interests and the contemporary debates in fields such as anthropology, political science, geography, literature, or history within a broader interdisciplinary framework, while at the same time committing themselves to an understanding of the historical, cultural and political experiences of Spanish and Portuguese America. Through an engagement with different texts and faculty expertise, this program trains students in current themes such as postcolonial thinking, critical readings of colonial histories, literary and anthropological genres, comparative politics, politics of indigeneity and human rights, as well as in environmental policies and political economy of Latin America and the Americas as a transnational whole. With the possibility to carry out curricula experience in Latin America, this program also offers an important lead for career development experiences on Latin America. This knowledge is increasingly necessary for Canada, as the country enters into new trade, political, environmental, and academic agreements with our emerging hemispheric partners.
This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.
(7.0 credits, including a minimum of 2.0 LAS credits at the 300+ level, of which a 0.5 credit must be at the 400-level)
- LAS200H1, LAS201H1.
- 1.5 LAS credits at the 300-level.
- 0.5 LAS credit at the 400-level, or an equivalent 0.5 credit at the 400-level, approved by the Associate Chair of Latin American Studies or the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
- 0.5 credit from: JQR360H1, POL222H1, GGR270H1, DTS300H1 or another 0.5 credit course on a combination of quantitative and qualitative reasoning / research design approved by the Associate Chair of Latin American Studies or the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
- 2.5 LAS credits or pre-approved courses from Lists A and B, of which a maximum of 0.5 credit may be from List B.
- Students must successfully complete (with a minimum grade of 65%) at least the second level of language instruction in Spanish or Portuguese by the end of the third year of study. This requirement is normally met through 1.0 credit from either the list of Spanish courses in Group A or from the list of Portuguese courses in List A. Students can also demonstrate equivalent proficiency in the given language through completion of 1.0 credit from the list of Latin American Cultural Expressions courses in List A at a second-year level of instruction or higher.

Neuroscience Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1472 [Preview]
HMB: Neuroscience
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field aimed at understanding the brain and nervous system utilizing integration of research at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, and through all stages of human development. The application of neuroscience has important implications for understanding human behaviour and for promoting the development of effective strategies for diagnosing and treating nervous system disorders. The objective of the HMB: Neuroscience specialist and major programs is to provide students with a solid foundation and facilitates the integration of concepts from multiple fields to their understanding of neuroscience.
