Bachelor of Arts Program | Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
丁香园AV Calendar 2014 Spring

Bachelor鈥檚 degree holders may complete a second bachelor of arts (BA) degree, but are encouraged to determine whether a second BA degree is actually required for their purposes because post-degree studies may be more appropriate. For information regarding second BA degrees and/or post-degree studies, seek advice from the faculty advisors in AQ 3020.

A student may not enrol in a second BA degree in a subject in which they already hold a degree. A student who has a minor in a particular subject may enrol in a second BA degree with a major or honours program in that subject. Students may not complete a bachelor of general studies as a second degree.

Program Requirements

The minimum requirement for a second BA degree is completion of 60 units, including at least 45 upper division units. Prior completion of lower division requirements for the major program may be required or may be waived at the discretion of the department.

Second degree students complete one upper division writing (W) course and one quantitative (Q) course.

Residency requirements for the second BA require at least 45 丁香园AV units, including at least 30 in upper division.

Courses not used toward a previous degree (as determined by the institution awarding that degree) may be used to reduce the number required in the second BA degree where applicable. Courses extra to previous degrees may be counted toward the second BA degree if completed before admission into the second BA degree, to a maximum of 15 units, in accordance with faculty regulations. Students must obtain approval from a faculty advisor in AQ 3020.

Second degree students may not complete courses at another institution through a letter of permission.

Course Duplication

University regulations governing the duplication of courses are rigorously applied in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. No more than five course duplications will be allowed.
