Honours History and Mathematics (B.A.)

Admission

Completion of any Level I program and a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including a grade of at least C in three units of Level I History; and successful completion of one of MATH 1A03 , 1LS3  or 1X03 ; and one of MATH 1AA3 , 1LT3 , or 1XX3  with a grade of at least C+ (see Note 5 below).

Notes

1. When registering, it is recommended that students distribute their required History courses (See Requirements below) as follows:
   • Level II: 12 units of Levels II or III History
   • Level III: 12 units of Levels II or III History
   • Level IV: 3 units of Levels II or III History; 6 units Level IV History. (No combined Honours student may take more than six units of Level IV seminars.)
2. Students considering a career in teaching are advised to take HISTORY 2T03  and HISTORY 2TT3 , as many schools of education require the equivalent of six units in a Canadian history survey course.
3. Students considering graduate work in History are strongly encouraged to include in their program a second language beyond the introductory level, as many graduate programs require proficiency in a second language.
4. MATH 1B03  and MATH 1C03  must be completed by the end of Level II. Completion in Level I is strongly recommended.
5. Students seeking admission to the program should note that MATH 1A03  and 1AA3  were designed for Chemical & Physical Science Gateway students and MATH 1LS3  and 1LT3  were developed for Life Sciences or Earth & Environmental Sciences Gateway students. MATH 1A03  and 1AA3  prepare students for a wide variety of upper year math courses. MATH 1LS3  and 1LT3  prepare students for many (but not all) upper year mathematics courses. As a result, students who take MATH 1LS3  and 1LT3  are permitted to enroll in upper year courses, but some self-study of first year calculus topics (such as series and additional integration topics) may be required.

Requirements

120 units total (Levels I to IV), of which 48 units may be Level I
