DEGREE 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.
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.
