SUBJECT AREA COURSES
2011-2012
Use the following lists of courses to help you choose your subject area courses. Due to the fact that
not all courses will be offered each year, and that some courses have pre-requisites and/or corequisites, please verify courses in the University Calendar or on Minerva at
http://www.mcgill.ca/minerva-students/. You may find many courses already filled (e.g. studio art
courses). These courses fill up in March when Minerva opens for Returning Students. You will have
priority in March as a Returning Student. Please note that the advisers are unable to override capacity
in any of these courses. It is first-come, first-served in regards to registering for a course.
