Notes:
- Drama 225 is a 3 unit course聽(0.5 full-course equivalent) normally offered in the Fall Term. Drama 223 is also a 3 unit course (0.5 full-course equivalent) but it runs over the entire year and students must register in both 鈥淎鈥 and 鈥淏鈥 parts. Consequently, first year course loads for the Fall Term are聽13.5 units (4.5 half-course equivalents) and for Winter Term 16.5 units (5.5 half-course equivalents). This will still maintain full-time status; however, students are advised to contact a program advisor in the Arts Students' Centre for information concerning their registration.
- Drama offers the opportunity for selected students to complete a professional theatre internship with local professional theatre organizations while registered in Drama 591 and 593 (see 4.57.8).
- 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.
