Adding a Major/Minor

An Arts degree gives you the flexibility to specialize in more than one academic discipline.

Review program options to determine if you are required to apply to the program or declare it on Workday Student.

Bachelor of Arts students must have a major, Honours, or IDST program in order to graduate. It is highly recommended that Bachelor of Arts students have their program declared before Year 3 registration.


Adding or changing your major

All self-declarable majors can be declared on Workday Student after completing 27 credits, while others require applications after either 27 or 54 credits.


Adding a minor

Arts students can add most minors through Workday Student after 27 credits.

A minor in a discipline taught in the Faculty of Arts requires a total of up to 30 credits or more in the program, 18 of which must be at the 300 level or higher.

You can also choose a minor from selected disciplines in the Faculties of Science, Education, and Land and Food Systems.

Some minors require certain courses, grade averages, or an application, so ensure you consult the department offering the minor.
