Students in these interdisciplinary programs must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least six credits in European 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. Students must complete 36 credits from the European studies list, all distinct from the courses in their other major. The European studies courses must include the following:

Streams In areas where curricular resources suffice, such as France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain or Russia, students in European studies may focus on a national or regional stream. Subject to the approval of the program coordinator, students who successfully complete at least 18 credits within such a stream will qualify to have this curricular focus noted on their transcript. Thus, a student might graduate with in political science and European studies (focus: Greece) or Italian studies and European studies (focus: Italy), or history and European studies (focus: Spain). Students who choose not to focus on a particular stream would graduate with a degree in the relevant major and a major or a minor in European studies. Study Abroad Students in European studies are strongly encouraged, although not required, to spend at least one academic term studying at a European university. The level of language facility generally required is equivalent to completion of at least the intermediate level, and students are encouraged to achieve such a level. Subject to the coordinator's approval, as well as letter of permission, study abroad, transfer credit, and in-Faculty regulations, courses successfully completed on such exchanges will be accepted for credit towards the major/minor and, if applicable, towards the stream in European studies.

With the approval of the program coordinator, and subject to course exclusion and in-Faculty regulations, students may complete other courses for program credit in European studies.
