Notes:

The KS Honours Seminar(s) will typically change from year to year. Consult the KS booklet, bulletin board, Web site, and/or the KS co-ordinator.
All courses and Honours Seminars offered exclusively by Cultural Studies have KS200* (or permission of the instructor) as a prerequisite. Students should note that courses on the list of KS-approved courses may have their own departmental prerequisites and other exclusions, for which the student is responsible. In particular, students interested in the sound stream should note the prerequisites for period and theory courses in music. Students are encouraged to consult with the co-ordinator when selecting courses.
Independent Studies research projects for a maximum of 0.5 credits of core electives may be substituted for such courses, with the prior approval of the program's co-ordinator or designate.
