Interdisciplinary Minor in Civic Vitality, Democracy and Electoral Management (CIV-DEM)
|
|
 Return to: Programs (by Degree) and Minors
The CIVDEM Interdisciplinary Minor equips students to work towards strengthening civic vitality, democratic resiliency, and electoral integrity, as well as empowering the underrepresented to participate in the political and electoral process. Students gain the foundations of knowledge, focused thematic expertise, and research competencies with respect to core areas (Civic Vitality, Democracy, Elections) that are local, national and global in scope. They are encouraged to think beyond the walls of the classroom to prepare for a lifetime of civic learning and practice, built on connecting with a large and effective network of advocates, innovators, practitioners, researchers and policymakers who are working to advance civic engagement, democratic processes and institutions, electoral management and integrity.

Notes:
-
A minimum of 9 units must be taken from approved courses outside the student’s home Faculty. To declare a Minor in CIVDEM, at least 12 units above Level I must be elective to the degree.
-
No more than 12 units of the student’s Major program may be applied towards the completion of the Minor. Any cross-listed course between two or more Faculties and those of interdisciplinary programs will be counted as a course outside of the student’s home Faculty.

It is the student’s responsibility to check carefully for prerequisites, co-requisites, and enrolment restrictions of all courses in this list. Students are encouraged to speak to their Faculty’s Academic Advisors about Faculty-specific rules on double-counting courses for the Minor.
