Interdisciplinary Major
An interdisciplinary Major is a course of study which consists of 36 credit hours of course work beyond the 1000 level cutting across disciplinary lines but related by a clear theme or unifying principle.

Students who plan to graduate with an interdisciplinary Major degree must propose an interdisciplinary Major course of study to the senate curriculum committee. The proposal must indicate:

1. the professor who has agreed to serve as Programme Director,
2. two additional professors who have agreed to serve with the Programme Director on
   an advisory committee, and
3. the proposed programme, identified by course numbers and titles.

Final approval of each proposed programme will rest with the senate curriculum committee. Normally, approval of the programme will be sought by the end of the student’s second year. Exceptionally, proposals may be entertained as late as the end of the third year. The advisory committee will monitor the student’s interdisciplinary course of study at regular intervals during the third and fourth years. Accordingly, the Programme Director will present a written report on the student’s progress to the curriculum committee at the end of the student’s third year and at the end of the first and second semesters of the last year.

The decision to award an interdisciplinary Major degree will be made by recommendation of the student’s advisory committee.

Interdisciplinary Honours is a programme consisting of a 57 credit hour course of study, as follows:

2. completion of a 3 credit hour Honours thesis seminar or workshop; and
3. successful completion of a 6 credit hour interdisciplinary Honours thesis.

Students who plan to graduate with an interdisciplinary Honours degree must propose an interdisciplinary Honours course of study to the senate curriculum committee. The proposal must indicate:

1. the professor who has agreed to serve as Programme Director,
2. two additional professors who have agreed to serve with the Programme Director on an advisory and thesis evaluation committee, and
3. the proposed programme identified by course numbers and titles.

Final approval of each proposed programme will rest with the senate curriculum committee. Normally, approval of the programme will be sought by the end of the student’s second year. Exceptionally, proposals may be entertained as late as the end of the third year. The thesis will be consistent with the approved aims of the programme, and it will be supervised by the Programme Director. The thesis will require the approval of the student’s thesis evaluation committee made up of the Programme Director and at least two additional professors chosen by the student and the Programme Director. For the purposes of registration in courses and notation on transcripts, the designation “Interdisciplinary Honours Thesis” will be used. A minimum grade of B must be attained for the thesis to count as an Honours credit.

The student’s advisory and thesis evaluation committee will monitor a student’s interdisciplinary Honours course of study at regular intervals during the third and fourth years. Accordingly, the Programme Director will present a written report on the student’s progress to the curriculum committee at the end of the student’s third year and at the end of the first and second semesters of the last year.

The decision to award an interdisciplinary Honours degree will be made by recommendation of the student’s advisory and thesis evaluation committee.
