The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Requirement is designed to ensure that students develop university-level foundational knowledge and skills in numeracy, quantitative analysis, logical reasoning involving numbers, and/or the graphical representation of data, as described on the QR guidelines page. While QR courses should be completed in the Humanities or Social Sciences, some designated courses in Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, and Psychology have been deemed alternatives. To fulfill the Quantitative Reasoning Requirement, a student must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours in foundational Quantitative Reasoning courses, through any combination of courses identified in the Academic Calendar under Faculty of Arts, Program Regulations. Some foundation-level Quantitative Reasoning courses have prerequisites and/or are offered at the 3000-level. Such courses will normally be completed after the first 45 credit hours. Guidelines for QR courses are maintained by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
