Area and Indigenous Content Requirements

Indigenous Content, or Type E, requirement: all Lakehead degrees require at least one 0.5 FCE course containing at least 50% (equivalent to 18 hours) of Indigenous knowledge and/or Aboriginal content.

• Students can complete this Type E requirement by taking such a course from any number of departments; however, the Department of English has several courses that meet this requirement, some of which also fulfill the area 3 requirement for majors (see below).  For information on Indigenous Content courses in English, please see the following link to English course calendar
• Area Requirements: The Department of English has area and breadth requirements for English majors. Our curriculum calls them Areas 1, 2, and 3; previously they were called Areas A, B, and C. For information on courses that fulfill these area requirements and on which requirements pertain to your degree (based on the year in which you began your program), please see previous calendars.
• In addition, some Special Topics courses (2010, 3911) and 4th year courses (4010 and 4914) may count as Area 1, Area 2 or Area 3. If you have any questions as to whether a specific course counts, please contact the Chair.
