Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The European Studies program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. European studies majors must co-major in another department/discipline in the Faculty of Arts, or with kinesiology and health science or psychology in the Faculty of Health. Students must take at least 36 credits in the European 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 European 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 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:

  • AS/HUMA 2195 9.00;
  • 30 credits, including six credits at the 4000 level, to be chosen from the list of European studies courses selected in consultation with the program coordinator.

Students must also satisfy a language requirement. They may do so by completing six credits in a European language (other than English) or by passing an approved competency test in a European language (other than English).

Note: A maximum of 12 credits in language courses will be counted towards the European studies major.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours BA program in the Faculty of Arts. Courses taken to meet European studies requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the major program.

The Honours Minor in European studies comprises at least 30 credits including the following:

  • AS/HUMA 2195 9.00;
  • 24 credits, including six credits at the 4000 level, to be chosen from the list of European Studies program courses selected in consultation with the program coordinator.

Students must also satisfy a language requirement. They may do so by completing six credits in a European language (other than English) or by passing an approved competency test in a European language (other than English).

Note: A maximum of 12 credits in language courses will be counted towards the European studies minor.

Note: Faculty of Arts legislation requires 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.

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.

European Studies Courses

Not all of the courses listed below will necessarily be offered in any given year.

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.

Note: For purposes of meeting program requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor.

All courses offered in the Department of French Studies (AS/FR) may count for major or minor credit in European studies.

All courses offered in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics from the following sections may count for major or minor credit in European studies: German (AS/GER), Modern Greek (AS/GKM), Italian (AS/IT), Portuguese (AS/POR), Russian (AS/RU) and Spanish (AS/SP).

Note: For courses offered in the Department of French Studies and the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, please consult the European studies supplemental calendar (or Web site) to determine which courses count as language courses. For courses offered by Atkinson and Glendon that may be appropriate for this program, consult with a program adviser or the coordinator.
