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.
