HONOURS PROGRAM
The B.A. Honours Program is one that allows more specialization than is possible in the ordinary B.A. It is designed for students who wish a deeper insight and more intensive training in History, and who are able to meet the higher standards set.
However, while the B.A. Honours Program is intended to be more demanding than the ordinary B.A., it does not emphasize original research or specialization to the same extent that the Master's degree does.
Please see the HONOURS GUIDELINES.pdf for more information.
Please see the Honours Student Advisor, Dr. I. Germani, for more information and counselling.
