• In the major program, language courses offered by the Department of Language Studies at U of T Mississauga and on the St. George campus relevant for a student's coursework in the History of Religions may be substituted for 300-level RLG credits. In this substitution, a language course of 1.0 credits corresponds to an RLG course of 1.0 credits at the 300 level only for a primary source language related to the student's coursework (Arabic, Persian, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Avestan, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, etc.). Students are invited to contact the Academic Counsellor for further information.
