Faculty
of Fine Arts students may also satisfy the Humanities general education
requirement by taking either FA/FACS 1900 6.0 Arts and Ideas, or
FA/FACS 2900 6.0 Arts, Societies, Histories. However, if either
course is counted as a Humanities course, it cannot also be counted
in another category.
Non-Fine Arts Electives
In
addition to the general education courses, most Fine Arts students
are required to complete additional courses outside the Fine Arts
disciplines. The number of non-Fine Arts electives required varies
according to the major and degree program. Courses taken towards
a Major or a Minor program in the Faculty of Arts, Environmental
Studies or Pure and Applied Science will satisfy this requirement.
Fine Arts Electives
All
students in a Fine Arts degree program or an Honours Major/Minor
program must complete at least 12 credits in Fine Arts outside their
major discipline. Courses completed as part of a Minor program in
the Faculty of Fine Arts will satisfy this requirement. Fine Arts
electives are not required in any Honours Double Major program.
