Office of the Registrar
Grenfell Campus (2022/2023)
8 Honours Degrees

Programs are offered leading to the Honours Degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Bachelor of Science.

An Honours Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree requires, over and above the requirement of the General degree, a concentration at an advanced level in an approved field, consisting of a subject or subjects of specialization and/or related subjects, and a high quality of work throughout the program. An Honours degree is of distinct advantage to students who plan advanced work or careers in their chosen fields and also to those who have a clear commitment to some special field of study. An Honours degree with first or second class standing is, in many cases, a prerequisite for admission to a graduate program. The Honours Degree of Bachelor of Arts is available in Psychology and the Honours Degree of Bachelor of Science is available in Environmental Science and Psychology.

An Honours Bachelor of Business Administration signifies superior academic achievement.

8.1 Admission and Registration for Honours Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degrees

  1. Admission to the Honours degree is competitive and limited, depending upon available resources. Students should consult the criteria established for the program in question. To be considered for admission to an Honours program a candidate shall complete an "Application For Admission to the Honours Program" form. The application must be approved by the Program Chair of the Major before the student can be admitted to the program.

    A student who wishes to enter an honours program is strongly advised to consult the Program Chair at the earliest possible date, as it may not be possible to complete the requirements for the degree in the normal time if the decision to embark on the program is delayed beyond the end of the second year.

  2. Students who have been awarded the General Degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science at Grenfell Campus may convert it to an Honours Degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science by following procedure outlined in 1. above.

  3. Before registering for any semester or any session, the candidate is strongly advised to consult with the Program Chair on the student's choice of courses. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in denial of access to certain courses.
