The Challenge Doesn't Stop Here
Scholar's Electives
Stand Out From The Crowd
Scholar’s Electives is a limited enrolment program with an interdisciplinary focus. It’s for students interested in more than the traditional undergraduate experience.
You’ll have exclusive classes with other Scholars’ Electives students – there are only 50-75 per cohort. Interested in doing research? You’ll start doing your own in second year with the guidance of a faculty mentor.
