12.1 B.A. and B. Sc. General Regulations

12.1.1 B.A. and B.Sc. Degree Requirements

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees achieve a balance of breadth, depth and coherence by including these four features in each student's academic program:

  1. The Bachelor's degree requires the completion of 120 credits worth of course work.

  2. Six credits must be earned in each of the four distribution areas: Arts and Letters, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Science. (see 12.2.2 and 12.3.2)

  3. A specified minimum number of credits earned at an advanced level must be included. (see 12.2.3 and 12.3.5)

  4. One of the following must be completed: a Major plus a Minor; a Double Major; a General degree of three Minors; or the most specialized degree an Honours program. It is also possible for students to design a program of their own. (See Regulations 12.2.12, 12.2.17, 12.3.15 and 12.3.20)

12.1.2 Declaration of Major, Minor, Honours

B.A. and B.Sc. students, in consultation with the designated Program Advisor, must formally declare a Major and a Minor by the end of the academic session in which they will have achieved third year standing or upon completion of 54 credits . Students should refer to the specific program requirements of their intended Major or Minor. Those opting to do a Double Major or Triple Minor must, in consultation with the designated Program Advisor, declare their intention by the end of the academic session in which they will have achieved third year standing or upon completion of 54 credits . Students can change their choice of program after further consultation with a Program Advisor. A 'Declaration/Change of Major/Minor' form is available on the Registrar's Office web page.

Those opting to do an Honours Program must declare their intention by December of the year in which they are registered with third year standing by completing a 'Declaration of Intention to Pursue Honours' form available on the web.

Students must consult with the Department Head or Program Co-ordinator with respect to application processes and admission criteria.
