Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The Canadian Studies program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Canadian Studies majors must comajor in another department/discipline in the Faculty of Arts. Students must take at least 36 credits in the Canadian Studies program and at least 36 credits in the comajor according to the requirements and regulations specified by each department/discipline for an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Courses taken to meet Canadian Studies requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the departmental/divisional major. Students in these Interdisciplinary programs must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 6 credits in Canadian Studies and 6 credits in the departmental/divisional major. For further details of requirements, see the listings for specific Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA programs.

The 36 credits in Canadian Studies must include: AS/SOSC 2200 9.0; at least 6 credits chosen from AS/EN 2450 6.0, AS/HIST 2500 6.0 or AS/POLS 2100 6.0; 6 credits chosen from a 3000-level Canadian Studies course in either Humanities or Social Science; 6 credits from a 3000-level Canadian Studies course in one of the participating departments; and 6 credits from a 4000-level Canadian Studies course offered by faculty with the Canadian Studies program.

Normally students shall select at least 36 credits in their major subject, including at least 6 credits at the 2000 level (if available) and 6 credits at the 4000 level in the Canadian field. At least 18 credits in the major subject shall be outside the Canadian field. In addition, students will select at least 36 credits in the field of Canadian Studies outside their major subject.

One of the aims of the program is to ensure that upon graduation all students have a working knowledge of both official languages. Prior to completion of the program, students must have successfully completed AS/FR 1030 6.0 or AS/FR 1080 6.0; or have an equivalent reading knowledge.

Courses are chosen in consultation with the program coordinator. For the most current information, refer to the supplemental calendar of the Division of Social Science.
