CO-OPERATIVE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES

The Co-operative Program in Humanities allows students to combine their chosen academic program with work experience that draws upon the knowledge and skills acquired during their academic studies. Students are required to complete a Specialist Program offered by the Department of Humanities, or two Major Programs, at least one of which is offered by the Department, and to complete the requirements of an Honours (20-credit) B.A. degree. For information on fees, work placements, and studying in the program, please see the calendar section Co-op Programs: General Information, page 71.

The program requires eight four-month sessions of study and two four-month work sessions over a four-year period.

NOTE: For information on the Specialist (Co-operative) Program in Arts Management, which operates separately from the Co-op Program in Humanities, see page 231 of this Calendar.
