Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The Social and Political Thought program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. The program is housed in the Division of Social Science. Social and political thought 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 Social and Political Thought 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 social and political thought 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 social and political thought and six credits in the departmental/divisional major.
