GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HONOURS AND GENERAL PROGRAMS
Bachelor of Arts - Four-Year Honours Programs
Four-year Honours programs require the completion of a larger number of courses with greater concentration in a specific subject area than do three-year General programs.
Total courses: A student will qualify for the Honours B.A. degree by passing forty courses, with standing as specified in undergraduate regulations.
Major requirements: Specific major requirements for the four-year Honours programs vary depending upon the area of study. Individual programs, which may provide for specialization in a single subject or in a combination of related subjects, are outlined under the heading "Programs of Study" in each subject area.
Other requirements: Honours and combined Honours programs in each area of study may identify courses in areas of study other than the major that must be completed. These are specified under the heading "Programs of Study" in each subject area.
Bachelor of Arts - Three-Year General Programs
Three-year General programs provide a moderate concentration in a specific subject, as well as a broad educational background. Students in these programs are encouraged to extend their studies over a wide range of subjects. Students are also encouraged to take courses which specifically address diversities of human experience, including culture, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
Total courses: A student will qualify for the General B.A. degree by passing thirty courses with standing as specified in undergraduate regulations.
Major requirements: At least ten and not more than sixteen courses must be chosen from one subject, which constitutes the major field. The specific requirements for a major are listed separately for each area of study. Normally, at least two courses from the major field should be included among the first ten courses taken.
Other requirements: General B.A. degree programs in each area of study may identify courses in areas of study other than the major that must be completed. These are specified under the heading "Programs of Study" in each subject area.
Students are advised to fulfill these requirements by the end of their second year.
