Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Latin American and Caribbean studies majors must co-major in another department/discipline in the Faculty of Arts. Students must take at least 36 credits in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program and at least 36 credits in the co-major according to the requirements and regulations specified by each department/discipline for an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Courses taken to meet Latin American and Caribbean 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 six credits in Latin American and Caribbean studies and six 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 Latin American and Caribbean studies must include the following:

• AS/HUMA 2310 9.00 or AS/SOSC 2460 9.00;
• 24 credits chosen from the list of Latin American and Caribbean studies courses;
• six credits in Latin American and Caribbean studies at the 4000 level.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours Major/Minor BA program in the Faculty of Arts.

The Honours Minor in Latin American and Caribbean studies comprises at least 30 credits including the following:

• AS/HUMA 2310 9.00 or AS/SOSC 2460 9.00;
• 18 credits chosen from the list of Latin American and Caribbean studies courses;
• six credits at the 4000 level chosen from the list of Latin American and Caribbean studies courses.

All Latin American and Caribbean studies majors/minors should arrange their program of study in consultation with the program coordinator and their co-major.

In addition to their course work, students registered in Latin American and Caribbean studies must satisfy a language requirement by demonstrating a working knowledge of either Spanish, Portuguese, French or another language (other than English) spoken in Latin America and the Caribbean which is relevant to the student's program of study. Students may satisfy this requirement by translating into English a text of no more than two pages in length. Alternatively, they may complete a university-level language course (at a level determined by a departmental placement test) with a final grade of C+ or higher. Language courses do not count toward the 36 credits required of Latin American and Caribbean studies majors.

Note: Faculty of Arts legislation specifies that, in order to obtain an Honours BA (120 credits) students must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level including at least 12 credits at the 4000 level in each Honours major or Specialized Honours major.
