The primary objective of every Honours program is to develop knowledge, appreciation, and skills in the student's chosen Honours subject(s), while at the same time fostering a perspective on the relation of the Honours subject(s) to other disciplines.
Honours BA programs provide concentration in subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and biology, as well as opportunities for students to become aware of the relation of their Honours subject(s) to other disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and elsewhere. Honours BA programs are available in the following subjects:
• Available only in combination with another Honours program.
See the Faculty of Music chapter for details of the combined BA (Music) and other Honours Music programs.
Honours students have a wide choice of secondary programs available to them. It is usually possible to combine two Honours BA subjects into a 'Combined Honours' program, (as noted above, two Honours BA subjects are available only in this form). Honours students in all programs may be eligible for the Administration Option. Honours students may select a General Major, a Minor, or any other Option as a secondary program. Students in Honours programs are also eligible for the Co-operative Education Option, a work-study program.
