University College offers a number of programs and courses outside the areas traditionally covered by departments. These include programs and courses in Canadian Studies, Drama, Health Studies, and Sexual Diversity Studies, in addition to 199Y1 Seminars, and introductory courses for non-specialists in mathematics. The overall aims of the College Programs are to foster interdisciplinary work in significant areas of study and to encourage intellectual breadth. Many program courses are open to students not enrolled in the programs themselves. The Canadian Studies Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) offers opportunities to study Canadian culture and society in an interdisciplinary manner and to explore cultural, social, economical and political developments in this diverse country. Students in the Specialist and Major programs select courses from the Humanities or Social Sciences. They are encouraged to consider additional courses in Aboriginal Studies in completing the requirements of the Program. The Drama Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) is described elsewhere in this Calendar, under Drama. The Health Studies Program (Specialist, Major) focuses the many areas of study that surround, interact with and support bio-medical research and clinical activity in regard to health, including health policy, practices, research methods, and socio-cultural expression. The Major serves as a general introduction; the Specialist provides a more intense research focus with more methodological emphasis. The Sexual Diversity Studies Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) allows students to focus on questions of sexual identity, difference, and dissidence across disciplinary lines and cultural frameworks. UNI and DRM courses are staffed by a combination of specific program staff members and members of various University departments, and are open to all students at the University.
