Second Degree Candidates

Students who hold a degree from an accredited institution may apply to the Faculty of Fine Arts to obtain a second undergraduate degree in a different discipline. Students who hold a BA degree (not an Honours degree) from another accredited institution may apply to the Faculty of Fine Arts to obtain an Honours degree in the same discipline. In all cases, second degree candidates are required to:

• complete a minimum of 30 additional credits at York University in accordance with the Faculty of Fine Arts residency requirement; courses taken as part of the first degree cannot be used to satisfy this requirement;
• fulfill all the requirements of the new major and minor programs; general education and elective requirements are waived.

The in-Faculty requirement should be regarded as the minimum number of additional courses; depending on the program selected and the amount of credit awarded for previous studies, the actual number of courses required for a second degree may well exceed that number.

No student will be permitted to pursue a second Honours degree in the same discipline.
