 Courses to Fulfill Your Category “C” Requirement
Some of the following are courses that non-Science students take to fulfill their Category C requirement.
Check your program to see whether you need a specific course (for example, most Psychology modules
require Math and Stats). You must also check the prerequisites and antirequisites in the Calendar to be sure
you are eligible for the course.

Some of these courses do not prepare you for senior level courses in the same subject. You can tell by
reviewing the course description and the prerequisites of senior courses.
