Integrated Studies

Students wishing to pursue a pattern of studies which does not coincide with either a single major or a combined major program may choose an Integrated Studies program.

An Integrated Studies Program is offered at both Honours and Pass levels for students whose special interests cannot be accommodated by a major, combined major or General Studies program. (An Integrated Studies program in Education is not available). A student who chooses an Integrated Studies program must receive prior approval for such a program or any subsequent changes to an approved program from the appropriate Dean.

Program Requirements

A student electing to pursue an Integrated Studies program must maintain a minimum 70 percent major average and 60 percent non-major average in order to continue in the program and to graduate. Additionally, an Integrated Studies program must include a APCO/COSC/MATH credit if the pattern of study includes an emphasis in Science or Social Science, or a language credit (in accordance with the language requirement of the Faculty of Humanities) if the pattern of study includes an emphasis in the Humanities. Both may be required where circumstances warrant. When choosing a program students should take care that prerequisites for advanced courses are met and that the schedule for cycled courses be considered.

Program Note
