Program Requirements

Until further notice, registration in this Joint Honours Component in Women's Studies is not offered.

Students wishing to study at the Honours level in two disciplines can combine Joint Honours program components in any two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs".聽

Joint Honours students should consult an adviser in each department to discuss their course selection and their interdisciplinary research project (if applicable).

The Joint Honours component in Women's Studies offers a degree of analysis and depth of contemporary and historical critical issues centered on women, gender, and/or feminism beyond that of the Major concentration. It culminates in the completion of an Honours thesis, supervised by a faculty member. Students secure the approval of a potential thesis adviser during the year before undertaking the thesis. Three credits are accorded to the thesis (graded by the thesis adviser), and 3 credits are accorded to work undertaken in the Colloquium which requires supplemental reading and writing assignments, training in research and thesis writing methods, presentation to the group of theses in progress, and response to the work of others.

Joint Honours students must maintain an annual GPA of 3.30 in all required and complementary courses that fulfil the requirements of a Joint Honours Component in Women's Studies, and a CGPA of 3.00.
