Arts Academic Plans

A Joint Honours academic plan with History may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties.

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of at least 60% and a cumulative History average of at least 75%.

Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours History academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:

1. Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 20 academic course units (40 courses). If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
2. History Plan-level requirements:
   • at least seven academic course units (14 courses) in History with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
     • HIST 250
     • one course in each of three fields:
       • Canadian: HIST 253, 254
       • American: HIST 257, 258
       • European: HIST 260, 262, 263
       • International: HIST 268, 275
     • two HIST courses at the 300-level
     • two HIST 400-level senior seminars (1.0 unit each), one with a B suffix
3. Plan-level requirements for the second major.

1. Students may use no more than two HIST courses at the 100-level to fulfill History plan requirements.
2. History students in all plans are required to have: at least one course focused on Canadian history, at least one course focused on pre-1800 history, and at least one course focused on post-1800 history. These requirements will usually (but not always) be satisfied as a student advances through their program. Please check with the History academic advisor to ensure that all requirements are met.
