Other substitutions will be considered on a case-by-case basis after the submission of the relevant syllabus.
- In the specialist 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, Pahlavi, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Avestan, Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, etc.). Students are invited to contact the Academic Counsellor for further information.
