Programme Supervisor: Dr. Shannon Ryan, Department of History
A multi-disciplinary Minor programme in Newfoundland Studies is offered to candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. The objective of the programme is the study of Newfoundland society and culture through a variety of disciplinary approaches rather than the concentration upon a single discipline. This Minor programme is an alternative to a Minor offered by a single department. Since the programme draws upon courses in several departments, it is administered by an inter-departmental committee. The Programme Supervisor will advise students upon the selection of courses in the Minor.
