Upcoming Courses
SPRING 2024 Course Offerings
The Department of Global Humanities offers courses under a number of different course designations, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline.
Updates to Course Outline InformationSFU is aligning with other Canadian universities to protect the privacy of our students and faculty members by removing specific course location information from publicly accessible web pages. Building and room numbers will no longer be listed in public facing course outlines and Academic Calendars, although dates, times, and campuses are still available on these pages. All relevant course location information, including buildings and rooms, remains accessible to currently enrolled students within goSFU for course planning, scheduling, and enrolment. |
