Students must successfully complete a minimum of 10.0 and a maximum of 12.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of Religious Studies while fulfilling the following requirements:

1. Western and Eastern Religions: 2.0 full-course equivalents from the “Western Religions” Stream and 2.0 full-course equivalents from the “Eastern Religions” Stream with at least 0.5 full-course equivalents from one of these two streams at the 400 level or above. (See the Field of Religious Studies.)

D. DEGREE OPTIONS

The BA Honours in Religious Studies can be taken with Cooperative Education. See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.

Notes:

  • Religious Studies 203, 205 and either 201 or 273 are recommended.
  • The topic chosen for the Honours Thesis will determine the stream in which this course will be counted in a student's program. When Religious Studies 577 is taken, the topic chosen for the Senior Project will determine the stream in which it will be counted.
  • 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. Language courses related to a student's program of study in Religious Studies taken from inside the Department can be counted as part of the ten full-course equivalents in Religious Studies.
  • 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.
  • 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 Term.
  • In planning their programs, students should bear in mind that language courses and some senior courses are not offered every year.
