Junior Courses

One full-course equivalent of English and/or Comparative Literature will normally constitute the prerequisite for 300-level English courses.

The following 300-level courses have no prerequisites: English 329, 385, 387, 389, 393, 395, 399.

Students may not receive credit for more than one full-course equivalent of 200-level English. The only exception is when English 240 is taken after another 200-level English course or courses, in which case the student may receive credit for up to two full-course equivalents in 200-level English.

English Composition (ENCO) courses do not count towards the major field in English.

Students with credit in senior English courses that have prerequisites may not normally take 200-level English courses, except English 240.

Students should note that English 240 is a required course in the Foundation Program for English Majors, Minors and Honours students and is felt by the Department to constitute the best foundation for concentrated work in senior courses in English and in interdisciplinary Humanities majors.

Foundation Program

English 240, English 302, and English 354 constitute the Foundation Program for English Majors, Minors and Honours students. Completion of the senior courses (English 302 and 354) of the Foundation Program is the standard prerequisite for 400-level courses. A student who has not completed English 302 and 354 will be admitted to a 400- or 500-level course if the Department judges the student's level of literary or other preparation sufficient for the demands of the course. English 240 should normally be taken within a student's first five full-course equivalents; English 302 and 354 should normally be taken within a student's first 10 full-course equivalents.

Creative Writing Concentration

The designation "Creative Writing Concentration" will appear on the transcripts of Majors who have completed at least three full-course equivalents from English 364, 366, 494, 496, and 598, and of Honours students who have completed at least three full-course equivalents chosen from these courses or two full-course equivalents and English 504 with a creative writing project. Students may substitute Drama 371, 471, 572.01 or 572.29 for up to one full-course equivalent counting towards the creative writing concentration. (Admission into these creative writing courses is selective and is based on the submission of a portfolio of the student's work.)

Students intending to proceed to graduate study in English should be aware that the Honours degree is felt by the Department to constitute the best preparation for such study.

Honours students should be aware that exposure to a wide variety of literary periods, genres, and critical approaches, as well as to different national literatures, is the best preparation for graduate work. Students should consult the Department to choose courses that represent this diversity.

See "Faculty Regulations - Admissions" and other requirements under "Faculty Regulations - Graduation," above.

A grade point average of at least 3.00 and Departmental recommendation will be required for students entering the Honours program. A student who decides to apply for Honours should at all stages consult closely with the Department about the choice of courses. (An appointment may be arranged by calling the Department at 220-5470.) The student must take at least 10 and no more than 12 full-course equivalents in English.

The requirements for the Honours degree are as follows:

(Students may not receive credit for more than one full-course equivalent of 200-level English. The only exception is when English 240 is taken after another 200-level English course or courses, in which case the student may receive credit for up to two full-course equivalents in 200-level English.)

Up to one full-course equivalent selected from the following list may be counted towards the major field: Comparative Literature 405, 517; Drama 371, 471, 572.01, 572.29; Humanities 405; Linguistics 321. These courses may not, however, be used to satisfy requirements 1-4 above.

Detailed information and advice is available on the Department website (http://gsea.ucalgary.ca/)

Students should choose a first half course at a level corresponding to their previous knowledge of the subject. Those with no previous instruction normally begin with German 202, Russian 201, Chinese 205 or Japanese 205. Those with German 30 or Russian 30 should enroll in German 221 or Russian 301 respectively. In cases of doubt the student should seek the advice of the Department and is generally encouraged to do so at all stages of the program of study.

Advanced Placement

German-, Russian-, Chinese- or Japanese-speaking students or students with more than matriculation in these languages must consult the Department to be placed in a course corresponding to their ability. Permission to register or remain in a particular language course can be refused if the Department deems that the student's knowledge exceeds the level of that course. Students are advised that misrepresenting their level of knowledge in the language of the course constitutes academic dishonesty and will be dealt with as such. Native speakers are not eligible to take language courses by special assessment or to receive advanced credit for them.

Enrollment in Chinese courses involves a formal placement process. All students seeking entry into Chinese courses who have not previously taken a course in Chinese at the University of Calgary must obtain, complete and return a Placement Application form available from Craigie Hall, room C205.

Based on the information provided in the Placement Application Form (see above), students will receive notification from the Chinese Program Adviser to appear for an oral interview at a designated time, and/or the written placement test.

· Written placement tests are scheduled to take place in Craigie Hall C105 at 13:30 on the last Thursday in April and the last Thursday in August. For information about placement tests call 220-5293.

· There is a $20.00 fee for writing the Placement Test.

· No one will be permitted to apply for placement more than once.

· No written placement tests will be administered outside this official schedule.

The Chinese Program Committee determines the appropriate course placement for each student. Placement results will be posted within the Department (or students may telephone 220-5293). Because registration approval is given after each test date, students should be aware that individual courses may be full before the August test date.

· Permission to register or remain in a particular language course can be refused if the Department judges that the student's knowledge exceeds the level of that course.

· Native speakers are not eligible to take language courses by special assessment or to receive advanced credit for them.

· Completion of Chinese 205 and/or 207 as a transfer course does NOT exempt a student from taking the GSEA placement test.

The program requires the completion of nine full-course equivalents in Russian (which may include Slavic 355). A micro-focus (two full-course equivalents) in the area of Social Analysis or Linguistics (see departmental web page for details) is strongly recommended.

Students intending to take an Honours program in Russian should note that the sequence of Russian 301, 303 and 361 is recommended by the Department as providing the best foundation for Honours level work in senior courses. Further, a background in one or more related Fields such as Comparative Literature, History, Philosophy, Linguistics, Romance Studies and English is considered an advantage for prospective Honours students.

In the final year the student must take Russian 591 (Honours Project). This will require the preparation of an Honours Thesis under close departmental supervision. In addition to the academic requirements, the Honours Thesis grade must be "A" or "A-" if the Department is to recommend the candidate for First Class Honours, and must be at least "B" if the candidate is to be recommended for Honours.

Students should also note they must satisfy the general Faculty requirements for Honours programs.

See "Faculty Regulations - Graduation," above.

Degrees Offered

BA in Philosophy

BA Honours in Philosophy

Minor in Philosophy

BA and BA Honours in Philosophy Co-operative Education Programs

BA in Religious Studies and Applied Ethics

The Department of Philosophy offers instruction in the Field of Philosophy only.

Advice and information about Philosophy courses and programs may be obtained from any member of the Department's Undergraduate Committee (the Department Office can arrange appointments). Detailed course descriptions for individual courses and, where appropriate, for the different sections of a single course, are available from the Department Office.

Double Major

Students may register as Majors in Philosophy and another field. It is essential that such students seek the advice of the departments concerned; students must also consult the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) as soon as possible.

Those choosing Philosophy as their Major Field of concentration are reminded that an appropriate competence in the Field can only be the result of a suitable selection of courses within the major areas of Philosophy. In particular, the Department feels strongly that a student well trained in the Field should have a familiarity with contemporary analytical procedures, with the foundations of formal logic and with at least some of the major classical figures of Western Philosophy.

Students considering Philosophy as a possible Major Field are recommended to begin with Philosophy 201 or 249 or one of 301, 303, 305 (upper-year students).

Students majoring in Philosophy should ensure that they seek departmental advice before each registration. Since many philosophical problems have their origins in other non-philosophical disciplines, students should seek advice not only about which philosophy courses to take but also about which non-philosophy courses might most benefit them. Advice may be obtained from members of the Departmental Undergraduate Committee.

See "Faculty Regulations - Admissions" and other requirements under "Faculty Regulations - Graduation," above.

Except with the written permission of the Department, students majoring in Philosophy must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Ethics: At least one of Philosophy 249, 349, 449, 549

2. Epistemology and Philosophy of Science: At least one of Philosophy 363, 367, 463, 467, 565, 567

3. Logic: One of Philosophy 279 or 377

Note: Students are strongly encouraged to satisfy this requirement early in their program.

4. Metaphysics and Philosophy of Mind: At least one of Philosophy 321, 381, 421, 481

5. History of Philosophy: Three of Philosophy 301, 303, 305, 343, 355, 369, 405, 443, 445, 457, 459, 501, 503, 505.

Note: At most two of 301, 303, 305 may be used to fulfill this requirement.

6. Analytic Philosophy: At least one of Philosophy 307, 407

7. Continental Philosophy: At least one of Philosophy 369, 459, 469

8. At least five additional half courses in Philosophy.

9. At least two full-course equivalents of the seven full-course equivalents required for a Major must be completed at the 400 level or above.

With departmental approval, other (typically higher-level) courses dealing with similar topics may be substituted for those listed. It may not be possible to teach all of these courses every year, a fact students should bear in mind when planning their programs.

Should a student in consultation with a departmental advisor and with the formal approval of the Department determine an alternative set of required courses for a departmentally acceptable program in Philosophy, the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) shall be so informed and completion of these courses shall be required for the granting of the degree. This determination, with all approvals, must be completed prior to the student's starting his/her 11th half course in the program (and by the preceding May 28, if the 11th half course is to be started in September).

Credit by Special Assessment

Students seeking credit by special assessment should consult the Department regarding courses available for credit in this manner.

Students considering Philosophy as a possible Major Field in an Honours program are recommended to begin with Philosophy 201 or 249 or one of 301, 303, 305 (upper-year students). Admission to the Honours program requires a grade point average of at least 3.00 and a recommendation to the Dean by the Department of Philosophy.

Departmental advice should be sought before deciding upon additional courses.

Students should note that no course may be used in fulfilling more than one of the above requirements. (Decimalized courses with different decimal suffixes count as different courses.)

In the final year of the Honours program the student must take Philosophy 590 (Honours Thesis). This will require the preparation of an Honours Thesis under close departmental supervision. In addition to the academic requirements, the Honours Thesis grade must be "A" or "A-" if the Department is to recommend the candidate for First Class Honours, and must be at least "B-" if the candidate is to be recommended for Honours.

The Honours Thesis, in suitable form, is to be submitted by the first day of the final examinations scheduled by the Registrar in the Winter Session.

A copy of the thesis, in a binding specified by the Department, is to be prepared for the Departmental Library.

Students should bear in mind the Faculty requirements concerning the general distribution of courses.

See "Faculty Regulations - Graduation," above.

The study of Philosophy can deepen and enrich understanding of a variety of other disciplines. The courses to be included in a Minor will vary from student to student, so it is important that students seek advice from the Department. A minor in Philosophy requires at least five full-course equivalents in Philosophy, of which three or more must be at the senior level.

Some examples of courses which would usefully supplement majors in various areas:

The Department of Religious Studies seeks to foster an understanding of the wide variety of religions that have influenced the development of human cultures and that continue to be powerful forces in today's world. Courses in the Department examine religious worldviews and their associated texts and practices, movements and institutions, as they appear now and as they have developed over time in many cultures of the world. The field of Religious Studies is multicultural, i.e., religions from all over the world are the subject of study, including the ancient traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as religious movements of more recent origin. Religious Studies is also multidisciplinary, which means that religion is studied with the use of methods and theories from various disciplines, including history, philosophy, sociology, psychology, literary theory, and feminist theory.

Courses in the Department are divided into three streams: Western Religions, Eastern Religions, and the Nature of Religion. The Table of Streams (located before the Religious Studies courses in the "Courses of Instruction" section of this Calendar) lists the course offerings of the Department according to stream.

Students considering Religious Studies as a major field are recommended to begin with Religious Studies 201 or 273, 203 and/or 205.

See "Faculty Regulations - Admissions" and other requirements under "Faculty Regulations - Graduation," above.

A major requires completion of eight to ten full-course equivalents in Religious Studies which must include the following:

1. Two full-course equivalents from each of the three streams of study. (See the Table of Streams located before the Religious Studies courses in the Courses of Instruction section of this Calendar.)

2. At least two full-course equivalents at the 400/500 level, including at least one half course in the Western or Eastern stream.

3. Religious Studies 377, which does not count toward any stream.

4. Religious Studies 437 or 447, which counts as a course in the Nature of Religion stream.

5. Religious Studies 577: the topic chosen for the Senior Project will determine the stream in which this course will be counted in a student's program.

Religious Studies majors are required to declare one of the three streams of study as their area of concentration. A student may define a more narrow focus of study within a stream or thematically across streams. Majors are strongly advised to consult with the Department's Undergraduate Advisor sometime during or before their third year of study and to submit a written declaration of their research concentration within the field of Religious Studies. Options for concentration include one of the three streams or a focus within or across the streams.

Students are strongly advised to include in their programs relevant language courses (e.g., Classical Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Classical Chinese, Japanese, French, German) and relevant courses from other disciplines. Language courses related to a student's program of study in Religious Studies, whether taken inside or outside the Department, may be counted as part of the eight full-course equivalents in Religious Studies. Language courses from other departments must receive approval from the Department's Undergraduate Advisor to be counted toward the major field requirements.

Early in their programs, students should consult with the Undergraduate Advisor in the Department of Religious Studies for guidance in selecting both required Religious Studies courses and appropriate courses from other disciplines.

In planning their programs, students should bear in mind that language courses and some senior courses are not offered every year.

Students should be aware of Faculty requirements as well as Departmental requirements. See "Faculty Regulations - Graduation--BA with a Major Field," above.

Credit by Special Assessment

Students seeking credit by special assessment should consult the Department regarding courses available for credit in this manner.

Admission to the Honours program requires a grade point average of at least 3.00 and a recommendation to the Dean by the Department of Religious Studies.

See "Faculty Regulations - Admissions" and "Faculty Regulations - Graduation - Honours Degree with a Major Field - Admission," above.

Students wishing to enter the Honours program in Religious Studies should include Religious Studies 201 or 273, 203 and 205 early in their programs.

An Honours degree requires completion of ten to twelve full-course equivalents in Religious Studies, which must include the following:

1. Two full-course equivalents from each of the three streams of study. (See the Table of Streams located before the Religious Studies courses in the Courses of Instruction section of this Calendar.)

2. At least three full-course equivalents at the 400/500 level, including at least one half course in the Western or Eastern stream.

3. Religious Studies 377, which does not count toward any stream.

4. Religious Studies 437 or 447, which counts as a course in the Nature of Religion stream.

5. Religious Studies 590: the topic chosen for the Honours Thesis will determine the stream in which this course will be counted in a student's program.

Honours students in Religious Studies are required to declare one of the three streams of study as their area of concentration. A student may define a more narrow focus of study within a stream or thematically across streams. Honours students are strongly advised to consult with the Department's Undergraduate Advisor sometime during or before their third year of study and to submit a written declaration of their research concentration within the field of Religious Studies. Options for concentration include one of the three streams or a focus within or across the streams.

By the beginning of a student's final year in the Honours program, a reading knowledge of a language other than English relevant to the topic of the Honours Thesis is normally required. Students may fulfill this requirement by completing at least one full-course equivalent of a language other than English. Language courses related to a student's program of study in Religious Studies, whether taken inside or outside the Department, may be counted as part of the ten required full-course equivalents in Religious Studies. Language courses from other departments must receive approval from the Department's Undergraduate Advisor to be counted toward the major field requirements.

The Honours Thesis is written in Religious Studies 590, usually during the final year of a student's program, under the close supervision of a member of the Department. At the end of the year, the student defends the thesis before a committee that consists of three faculty members, of which normally at least two are members of the Department. A grade of at least "B" must be obtained on the Honours Thesis if the candidate is to be awarded the Honours Degree. The Honours Thesis grade must be "A" or "A-" for the Department to recommend the candidate for First Class Honours.

The Honours Thesis in suitable form is to be submitted by the first day of the final examinations scheduled by the Registrar in the Winter Session.

Early in their programs, students should consult with the Undergraduate Advisor in the Department of Religious Studies for guidance in selecting required Religious Studies courses, language courses, and appropriate courses from other disciplines. Relevant courses in allied fields such as Philosophy, History, Sociology, Anthropology, and Greek and Roman Studies are strongly recommended.

In planning their programs, students should bear in mind that some senior courses are not offered every year.

Students should be aware of Faculty requirements as well as Departmental requirements. See "Faculty Regulations - Graduation - Honours Degree with a Major Field," above.

The Minor requires a minimum of five full-course equivalents in Religious Studies with at least one full-course equivalent from each of the three streams.

See also "Minor Field Option" under "Faculty Regulations - Course Work," above.

This program is offered jointly by the Departments of Philosophy and Religious Studies. For details consult the program descriptions for the Department of Philosophy.

This program is offered jointly by the Departments of Greek and Roman Studies and Religious Studies. For details consult the program descriptions for the Department of Greek and Roman Studies.

The Faculty of Humanities offers a degree program with a Major in General Humanities.

The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity of a broad education in the Humanities. It may usefully be supplemented, by way of career preparation, with courses preparatory to application for admission to a professional Faculty (e.g., Medicine), or with an appropriate Minor (e.g., the Minor in Management and Society, or Law and Society). Advice on these and related matters may be obtained from the Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

See "Faculty Regulations - Admissions" above.

Students intending to register in the BA program with Major in General Humanities must consult with the Associate Dean (Student Affairs), Faculty of Humanities, for final approval of their selected program.

The program requires the completion of two core courses (Humanities 305 and 307); additional courses are selected from the course offerings of the various Departments within the Faculty.

The requirements for the BA program, Major in General Humanities, are as follows:

1. The general regulations of the Faculty with respect to all the BA programs with a Major Field apply (see "Faculty Regulations - Graduation" above), together with the following specific requirements.

2. All students must complete Humanities 305 and 307; this requirement should normally be met by the end of the third year of study.

3. In order to establish breadth in the Humanities, at least one full-course equivalent must be taken from each of the following areas of study: (i) English; (ii) Philosophy; (iii) a modern language or literature other than English; (iv) Greek and Roman Studies; (v) Religious Studies; (vi) Comparative Literature.

4. A minimum of one additional full-course equivalent must be chosen from each of two of the six subject areas specified in paragraph 3.

5. One full-course equivalent must be chosen, in consultation with the Associate Dean (Student Affairs), from among the courses offered by the Department of History.

6. At least five full-course equivalents counting toward the Major field must be at the senior level. Students should refer to the chart in this Calendar for a list of senior courses in Humanities without prerequisites.

Language Requirement

A working knowledge is required of a language other than English. This requirement may be met in any language, ancient or modern, in which courses are offered by the Faculty of Humanities. The requirement may be met either by the successful completion of course work (e.g., the course requirement specified in 3 (iii) or (v) above), or by examination. Language competence is required at a level equivalent to the completion of a full senior course in the language in question.

The Minor is composed of at least five full-course equivalents of which three must be at the senior level.

Students intending to minor in Comparative Literature must consult with the Associate Dean (Student Affairs), Faculty of Humanities for selection and approval of the courses appropriate to the Minor and to their interest and background.

The Minor is made up of the following components:

1. Comparative Literature 201 and 203 (to be completed as early as possible);

2. One full-course equivalent from the following list of relevant courses: Comparative Literature 405, 517, English 517, French 511, Philosophy 315;

3. A minimum of three full-course equivalents in Comparative Literature. Literature courses from other departments in the Faculty may be substituted for Comparative Literature courses with the approval of the program coordinator.

Note: Some of the courses relevant to the minor may have prerequisites.

Language Requirement

In addition to English, reading competence is required in another language. This requirement may be met by course work in an ancient or a modern language appropriate to the student's program or by examination. Language competence is required at a level equivalent to the completion of a full senior course in the language in question.

Courses used to fulfill the requirements of the Minor may not be used to fulfill requirements for a Major.

The Minor allows for the study of cultural phenomena in their social context and historical unfolding from late Antiquity to the Early Modern Era (e.g., literature, religion, philosophy, music, drama, and art). At the same time, it permits specialization in one specific phenomenon, era, culture or society. For example, specific courses may be combined to create a specialization in Renaissance Italy or Medieval Thought.

The Minor is intended to complement Major programs in related fields. It offers an integrated course of study which enhances the learning experience and promotes a cross-cultural understanding of a formative age in European civilization. Desirable for students contemplating graduate level work in related fields.

The Minor is composed of at least five full-course equivalents of which three must be at the senior level, to a maximum of six full-course equivalents.

Students intending to minor in Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation Studies must consult with the Associate Dean (Student Affairs), Faculty of Humanities for selection and approval of the courses appropriate to the Minor.

The minimum requirements for the Minor program are:

1. One full-course equivalent each from three of the four Subject Areas listed below;

2. Two additional full-course equivalents from any single Subject Area or combination of two Areas listed below. Humanities 405 may be used to fulfill part of the requirements for one of the Subject Areas.

Students are advised to consider including Humanities 405 in their program any time after their first year of study.

Subject Areas

· Arts (Departments of Art, Drama, and Music): Art History, Music History and Literature, Music Performance, Drama.

· History (Departments of Greek and Roman Studies, and History): Late Antique, Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation History.

· Language and Literature (Departments of Greek and Roman Studies; English; French, Italian and Spanish; Germanic and Slavic Studies; and Religious Studies): Arabic, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish.

· Philosophy, Political Science and Religion (Departments of Philosophy, Political Science and Religious Studies).

Students are urged to take at least one course in History, and to gain proficiency in at least one ancient and a second modern language if they plan to proceed to graduate school.

Note: Some of the courses relevant to this Minor may have prerequisites.

Courses used to fulfill requirements for the Minor may not also be used to fulfill requirements for a Major.

The program, sponsored jointly by the Faculties of Fine Arts and Humanities, leads to the BFA and BA degrees, or two BA degrees, and requires the completion of a minimum of 25 full‑course equivalents. Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree program in year one in either faculty. At that time, the student will declare a Major Field within the Faculty of Humanities in addition to the Major within the Faculty of Fine Arts. All admission requirements for both Faculties must be satisfied in order to qualify for the combined degree program. At least one half of the 25 full-course equivalents must be taken at the University of Calgary. Program details are listed in the Faculty of Fine Arts section of this Calendar.

The combined BA (French)/BEd (Master of Teaching) program starts after Year 2 of the Faculty of Humanities French BA program and will last for three years.

The deadline for application for admission is April 1 of the academic year in which the student will have completed 20 half-course equivalents.

To be eligible for admission, a student must have met the following requirements by the time of admission (end of the Winter Session):

(a) A minimum of seven half-course equivalents of university-level French courses as required in the French BA in the Faculty of Humanities.

(b) Additional courses (sufficient to add up to 20 half-course equivalents) to meet the Faculty of Humanities requirements.

(c) The University of Calgary Effective Writing Requirement.

(d) A Faculty of Education "Statement in Support of Application" which includes names of three referees.

Candidates for admission will require a GPA of at least 2.50 over the last five full-course equivalents taken and a GPA of at least 3.00 over all French courses taken (University of Calgary courses and courses transferred from other institutions).

A maximum of 15 students will be accepted into the program in any one year. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission to the program is competitive based on the GPA over the last five full-course equivalents taken.

Program Structure

The program is divided into a French portion, which consists of 15 half-course equivalents plus courses required to fulfill the Faculty of Humanities Graduation Requirements, and an Education portion, which consists of 20 half-course equivalents. In Year 5 of the Combined Degree program, a required interdisciplinary project course in French will amalgamate the students' academic experience in French and Education.

At the time of admission, a joint committee in French and Education may stipulate special requirements related to linguistic proficiency for entering students. Students' progress throughout the program will be monitored by the joint committee. In order to continue into year 4, students must have completed the 30 half-course equivalents required for the initial French/Humanities portion of the program (see below) with a minimum GPA of 3.00 over the last ten half courses taken.

Required courses in French:

The five-year program leads to both the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Commerce degrees. The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) of Humanities and the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of Haskayne School of Business for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

Students must satisfy the admission requirements of both Faculties. The BA in Humanities portion of the program requires that students complete the departmental requirements for the Humanities Major (either seven or eight full-course equivalents) and a minimum of eight and one-half full-course equivalents of courses from the Faculty of Humanities with a minimum GPA of 2.00. No more than one full "D" or "D+" grade may be counted towards the Major field. At least one half of the 25 full-course equivalents must be taken at the University of Calgary. Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree program in year one in either faculty. Up to the end of year three, students may opt out of the combined degree program and complete the Humanities degree program in one additional year. Program details are listed in the Haskayne School of Business section of this Calendar.

The five year program leads to both the Bachelor of Science in Engineering and the Bachelor of Arts degrees. A Major in the Humanities consisting of seven full-course equivalents is required. All specific departmental requirements for the Major must be met. For those majors normally requiring eight full-course equivalents (Ancient and Medieval History, English, French, Greek and Roman Studies, Spanish) students in the combined program must consult with the department to determine which seven full-course equivalents they are required to complete. Majors are available in English, French, German, Greek and Roman Studies, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Russian and Spanish. Students planning a Humanities Major in French or German should present Grade XII standing in that subject area.

Students will enter the Faculty of Engineering in year one and complete the two degrees under the jurisdiction of that faculty. They must satisfy the admission requirements of both Faculties. The BA in Humanities portion of the program requires that the students have a GPA of at least 2.00 in the Humanities courses and not more than one full "D" or "D+" grade in these courses. At least half the courses counting towards the Humanities Major must be taken at the University of Calgary. Up to the end of year two students may opt out of the combined degree program and complete the BA degree in Humanities in two additional years. Program details are listed in the Faculty of Engineering section of this Calendar.

The program, sponsored jointly by the Faculties of Science and Humanities, leads to both the BSc and the BA degrees and requires the completion of a minimum of 25 full-course equivalents.

Students pursuing this program may enter either the Faculty of Science or Humanities in year one, providing all admission requirements as described in each Faculty's section of the Calendar have been satisfied. At the time of admission into each Faculty, students must declare a Major Field as described in each Faculty's section of this Calendar.

1. The Faculty of Humanities requires the successful completion of 10 full-course equivalents offered by the Faculty of Humanities of which at least seven (or in some Majors eight) and not more than 10 full-course equivalents must be in the Major Field (except for the BA Major in General Humanities). Faculty and Department requirements for graduation in a program with a Major Field must be met.

2. The Faculty of Science requires successful completion of all courses required for graduation in a program with a Major Field as listed in this Calendar.

3. Courses taken towards each of the Major Fields will be used to satisfy the requirement of the other Faculty that four full-course equivalents be taken outside the Faculty.

4. At least one full-course equivalent offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences.

5. At least one full-course equivalent selected from the courses listed under Science, Technology and Society in the Faculty of Communication and Culture section of this Calendar.

6. The number of junior courses taken, however distributed, must not exceed 10 full-course equivalents.

7. At least one half of the 25 full-course equivalents must be taken at the University of Calgary.

The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Student Affairs offices of the two Faculties for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

It will be possible for students to opt out of the combined degree program until the end of their third year and complete either the Humanities or Science degree program in four years. Students should note, however, that if courses have been unevenly distributed, more than four years may be required to complete the degree.

The program, sponsored jointly by the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, leads to the BSc and the BA degrees, or two BA degrees, and requires the completion of a minimum of 25 full-course equivalents.

Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree program in year one in either the Faculty of Humanities or the Faculty of Social Sciences. At that time, students will declare two Major Fields as described in each Faculty's section of this Calendar. All admission requirements for both faculties must be satisfied in order to qualify for the combined degree program.

1. The Faculty of Social Sciences requires the successful completion of all courses required for graduation in "Degrees with a Major Field" or "Honours Degrees with a Major Field" as listed in this Calendar. Faculty and Departmental requirements for graduation in a program with a Major Field must be met.

2. The Faculty of Humanities requires successful completion of all courses required for graduation in a "BA with Major Field" or "Honours Degree with Major Field" as listed in this Calendar. Faculty and Departmental requirements for graduation in a program with a Major Field must be met.

3. At least two full-course equivalents must be taken from courses in each of Area II and Area III; of the Area III courses, one full-course equivalent must be from the offerings of the Faculty of Science.

4. Each Faculty requires that four full-course equivalents be taken outside that Faculty. In the case of this program, courses taken towards the Major in one Faculty will satisfy this requirement for the other Faculty and vice-versa.

5. The number of junior courses taken must not exceed eight full-course equivalents in total.

6. At least one half of the 25 full-course equivalents must be taken at the University of Calgary. A maximum of 10 full-course equivalents may be transferred to a single Faculty. Half the courses counting towards each of the Majors must be taken at the University of Calgary.

The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Student Affairs offices of the two Faculties for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

It will be possible for students to opt out of the combined program until the end of their third year and complete either the Social Sciences or Humanities degree program in four years. Students should note, however, that if courses have been unevenly distributed, more than four years may be required to complete the degree.
