Major Concentrations

The multi-track system is intended for students who want a program that includes significant components from both Arts and from Science. You complete a 36 credit of Arts Major Concentration, a 36–38 credit Science Major Concentration, and the required integrative course BASC 201 Arts and Science Integrative Topics. (3 credits).

Since the B.A. & Sc. degree requires a certain number of credits in the Arts and in the Sciences, there are special requirements for B.A. & Sc. students. To be counted as an Arts major concentration, the program must include at least 30 credits of Arts courses. Similarly, to be counted as a Science major concentration, the program must include at least 30 credits of Science courses.

For example, a student completing the 36-credit African Studies Major concentration in Arts must complete at least 30 of those credits in Arts courses and at most 6 credits in Science courses.
