        At the undergraduate level, the Civil Law Section of the Faculty of Law offers the following programs in French only: Licentiate in Law, Licentiate in Law and Honours BSocSc in International Development and Globalization, Licentiate in Law-MBA Program and the Canadian Law Program.

        The National Program, the General Certificate in Law and the Minor in Law are offered in both English and French.

      The table below includes only discipline-specific courses. Please refer to the Academic Regulations for information on including a minor to your degree.

      The minor program in Law introduces the nature and role of rules that dictate human activities at the private and public levels. However, these are not professional programs like the licentiate.

      This program can be chosen only as a second study module as part of a 120-unit bachelor’s degree that allows a minor.
