 Co-ordinator: David Monod, PhD
 The Administration Option is available only to
      students registered in Honours programs. Normally students will
      register for the Option during their First or Second Year.
      Transfers into the Option after Second Year must be approved by a
      Co-ordinating Committee consisting of four members, two appointed
      by the Dean of Arts and Science and two by the Dean of the School
      of Business and Economics. When an Honours Music student is
      considered for such a transfer, the committee will consult with
      the Dean of the Faculty of Music. The Administration Option
      consists of the following seven credits:
      First Year
      BU111, BU121, EC120, EC140.
      Second Year
      BU155 (Recommended) or BU115; BU227, BU247
      Third and Fourth Years
      EN227 or EN228; BU208, BU352, BU383, BU385, BU388; BU481 (must be
      taken in Fourth Year).

 Notes:

       For progression to Third Year in the Option, students
      must have completed all First and Second Year Option courses with
      a GPA of at least 6.00. For graduation, students must obtain a
      GPA of at least 6.00 in all Option course(s) normally taken in
      Third and Fourth Year.

       Students who fail to meet GPA requirements by May 1 of
      their Second or Fourth Year may repeat courses in the summer
      following, but must meet requirements by August 31. A maximum of
      one and a half credits may be repeated.
 3.
       Students whose program requires CP102 or CP104 may
      substitute this course for BU155 or BU115.

       At least four and a half of the seven credits in the
      Option must be completed at Wilfrid Laurier University.

       Students in Third and Fourth Year considering an
      MBA program following graduation should consult with the
      Co-ordinator of the Administration Option regarding course
      selection.
 6.
       The prerequisites for BU383, BU385, EN227 and EN228 are
      waived for students in the Administration Option. Students whose
      discipline or major does not require a statistics course are
      advised to complete BU385 prior to attempting BU383.

 Environmental Science Option
The Environmental Science Option is available to students
registered in Honours BSc programs in Biology, Chemistry and
Geography. Normally, students will register in the Option during
their First or Second Year. Transfers into the Option after
Second year must be approved by the Dean of Arts and Science.
Students interested in the Option are advised to take BI100*,
CH100* and GL100* in their First Year. Details of the
requirements are given following the requirements for the Honours
Programs involved - see Honours Biology with Environmental
Science Option (page 75), Honours Chemistry with Environmental
Science Option (page 76), Honours Geography with Environmental
Science Option (pages 77-78).

 General Major, Minor, or Option
Students in Honours programs may choose to organize their
elective courses in such a way as to meet the requirements for a
major, minor, or option in a subject other than the Honours
subject(s). Additional courses may be necessary to fulfil these
requirements, as well as those of the Honours program. The
following regulations will apply:
 1.
       All Common and Special Requirements for the major,
      minor, or option, must be fulfilled. (See pages 51-58.)
      Progression in the General major is governed by the regulations
      which determine progression in General degree programs.
 2.
       The student must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least
      4.50 on all courses of the major or minor subject, or on all
      courses counted toward the interdepartmental major or option.
      This regulation does not apply when a greater minimum GPA is
      required for the secondary program chosen.
 3.
       An Honours student may receive designation for only one
      General major and/ or minor, or option other than the
      Administration, Internship, and Professional Experience Program
      Options.

       A course counted toward the Honours program may not also
      be counted toward a General major, minor, or option.
 5.
       An Honours student may receive designation for only one
      of the Internship and Professional Experience Program Options.

 Internship Option
 Assistant Director of Co-operative Education: Karen
      McCargar, BA, Ext. 4105
 The Internship Option was introduced in the
Faculty of Arts and Science to offer Honours students an
educational alternative. A number of students find their academic
program more purposeful when pursued on the basis of
incorporating supervised work experience, related to their field
of study, as part of their degree requirements.

    The program requires students to complete two work
terms of at least 12 weeks each, in approved employment related
to their discipline. Normally work terms will be completed from
May to August between Second and Third Year, and between Third
and Fourth Year. Students may not begin a work term before having
completed at least four academic terms.

    The Internship Option is available in the following
Honours programs:
Anthropology
Biology
Computing and Computer
Electronics
English
Geography
History
Mathematics
Polit
ical Science
Psychology
Sociology

    To obtain the Internship designation, students must
successfully complete all the requirements of both their academic
program and the Internship program. For a complete description of
the academic program, refer to the academic program requirements
of the departments offering the Internship Option.

    No academic credit will be given for the work
experience gained through the program. Students successfully
completing the option will have the notation `Internship Option'
appended to their transcripts.

    The development of suitable work term positions for
Internship students is under the direction of the Internship
Office. Students apply to employers with whom they are interested
in working. Employers are encouraged to interview on campus.
Students are prepared for these activities by receiving
individual counselling and by attending a series of workshops
specifically prepared for them.

    Although employment cannot be guaranteed, every
effort is made to ensure that suitable employment is available
for Internship students. Students are compensated by their
employer for work performed. An Internship fee is payable in each
academic term of Second and Third Year.

 Application Procedure:
Honours students apply for Internship during the Winter Term of
their First Year, by the deadline date for preregistration for
the next academic year.
Application procedure includes:
 completion of an Internship Option application form
 registration in an Honours program offering the
Internship Option
 an admission interview with Internship Co-ordinators.

    In order to qualify for an admission interview in
September of Second Year, applicants must obtain a minimum GPA of
7.00 overall in their First Year or a minimum GP (A) of 7.00 in
the course(s) of the student's Honours discipline and a minimum
GPA of 6.50 overall in their First Year. Admission decisions are
made in September of Second Year. Total enrolment in the
Internship Option is limited.

 Similar to the Internship Option, the
Professional Experience Program Option provides the student with
a discipline related work experience.

    The program requires students to complete one work
term of 12-16 months in approved employment related to their
discipline after the Third Year of the four year Honours program.

    The Professional Experience Program Option is
available in the following Honours program:   Computing and
Computer Electronics

    To obtain the Professional Experience Program
designation students must successfully complete all the
requirements of both their academic program and the Professional
Experience Program.

    No academic credit will be given for the work
experience gained through the program. Students successfully
completing the option will have the notation `Professional
Experience Program Option' appended to their transcripts.

    The development of suitable work term positions for
Professional Experience Program students is under the direction
of the Internship Office. Students apply to employers with whom
they are interested in working. Employers are encouraged to
interview on campus. Students are prepared for these activities
by attending workshops specifically prepared for them.

    No guarantee of suitable employment can be given.
Students are compensated by their employer for work performed.

    Students pay an administration fee to participate in
the program.

 Participation Procedures
Honours students register for the Professional Experience Program
in the Fall of Third Year and apply for appropriate job postings,
