* Note 1: FACS 1900 6.0 is required for all Faculty of Fine Arts degrees. This course may be used to satisfy either the humanities general education requirement or a fine arts requirement (i.e. a fine arts elective, or a major or minor requirement in fine arts cultural studies), but not both. For students admitted to the Faculty of Fine Arts with a minimum of 54 transfer credits, FACS 1900 6.0 is optional.

* Note 2: Fine arts credits outside the major are not required in the Honours Double Major program. They are required in the Honours Major/Minor program; students with a fine arts minor will automatically satisfy the requirement.

Major and Minor Courses

The specific course requirements for fine arts major and minor programs are outlined in the section following. A department may set further prescriptions, such as the requirement of a major thesis or production to be completed in conjunction with final courses.

Upper-level Courses

In all fine arts Honours programs, at least 24 credits in the major discipline must be at the 3000 or 4000 level. In the fine arts BA programs, at least 12 credits in the major discipline must be at the 3000 or 4000 level. Specific programs and streams may have additional upper-level requirements.
