Joint Honours Sociology

A Joint Honours academic plan with Sociology 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 an overall cumulative average of 60% and a cumulative Sociology average of 75%.

Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Sociology 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.
    Note: In practice, depending on the number of courses required by the second discipline (e.g., overall and for the major) and the number of electives that students choose to take, more than 40 courses may be necessary for graduation.
  2. Sociology Plan-level requirements:
    • at least 7.5 academic course units (15 courses) in Sociology with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
  3. Plan-level requirements for the second major.

Note:

For the Joint Sociology-French Honours academic plan requirements, SOC 280 may be replaced by an elective in Sociology.
