Arts Academic Plans

A Joint Honours academic plan with Fine Arts - Studio Practice 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.

Please note that there are two streams within all honours studio practice academic plans (outlined below) in the final year of study: Studio and Studio Practicum. The Studio stream is for students who wish to pursue a career as an artist. The Studio Practicum stream is for students who wish to pursue a career in the arts and in education. Selection of the stream is made at the end of 3B.

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of 60% and a cumulative Fine Arts average of 75%.
