Joint Honours Component Geography (37 credits)

Offered by: Geography     Degree: Bachelor of Arts and Science

Program Requirements

Students wishing to study at the Honours level in two disciplines can combine Joint Honours program components of Geography and another Arts discipline. As with the regular Honours program, the Geography component of Joint Honours focuses on the interactions among people, places, and the environment, and requires an Honours project, which entails independent, original research conducted over two semesters, normally in the final year of study, under the supervision of a department faculty member. The requirements for Honours programs vary considerably among units, so students interested in Joint Honours should consult an adviser in each department to discuss their course selection and research project(s).

In addition to the Faculty of Arts requirement that Joint Honours students maintain a CGPA of at least 3.00, students in a Joint Honours Component Geography program must maintain a program GPA of at least 3.30 to remain in the Honours program and receive an Honours degree. In addition to meeting these Geography requirements, students must meet the requirements set forth by the other unit.
