Digital Arts Communication Specialization (Co-op Only)
Within the Faculty of Arts, the Honours Arts and Business Co-op academic plan offers a specialization in Digital Arts Communication. This specialization is available to students who wish to study the design of digital communication using hypertext, image, sound, and video. The specialization emphasizes the design of digital communication, and especially its role in meeting the needs of different audiences, rather than computer programming or the use of particular software applications.
Only students in the Arts and Business Co-op academic plan can apply for the Digital Arts Communication Specialization. To be considered for admission to this specialization, students must have completed DAC 201 or DAC 202 with a grade of 75% or better and be in satisfactory standing in the Honours major and Arts and Business Co-op academic plans. Due to limitations of resources, fulfilment of these minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee admission to the Digital Arts Communication Specialization.
Upon completion of DAC 201 or 202, Arts and Business Co-op students can apply for the specialization. A committee will make the final selection of candidates being accepted to the specialization after assessing the student's digital portfolio.
Requirements
The Digital Arts Communication Specialization requires successful completion of three academic course units (six courses):
- DAC 201, 202
- two of DAC 300, 301, 302, 307, 308, 309
- two of DAC 305, 329, 403; ENGL 320, 392A, 392B; FINE 228 or 229; MUSIC 275
For further information, please contact the Digital Communication Specialization Director.
International Trade Specialization (Co-op Only)
The globalization of the world economy, arising from the much accelerated process of economic integration, implies that Canada will increasingly demand people with education and skills in areas related to international trade. As an integral part of the Honours Arts and Business Co-op academic plan in the Faculty of Arts, the International Trade Specialization provides students with a broadly-based education in the liberal arts combined with courses targeted to international trade.
Enrolment in the specialization is limited. Honours Arts and Business Co-op students apply for admission to the International Trade Specialization during their 2A academic term through a process of a formal written application and a personal interview.
Requirements
The International Trade Specialization requires successful completion of 3.5 academic course units (seven courses) and the seminar milestone:
- ECON 102, 231

- two of PSCI 334, 387, 389
