About the Faculties1
The B.A. & Sc. is an interdisciplinary degree intended for students who want to pursue simultaneously a program offered by Arts and one offered by Science.The B.A. & Sc. is intended for students with well-defined interdisciplinary interests, and is not meant as a "compromise" between a B.A. and a B.Sc. degree.If you are more interested in Arts, but would like to study some Science, you can do so within the B.A. degree. Similarly, if you are more interested inScience, but would like to study some Arts, you can do so within the B.Sc. degree.
To learn more about the Faculty of Arts, see Faculty of Arts > The Faculty > : About the Faculty of Arts. To learn more about the Faculty of Science, seeFaculty of Science > The Faculty > : About the Faculty of Science.
Programs and Teaching in Arts and in Science2
Programs and teaching in Arts are described in Faculty of Arts > The Faculty > : Programs and Teaching in Arts. Those in Science are described in Facultyof Science > The Faculty > : Programs and Teaching in Science. The two faculties jointly offer the B.A. & Sc., so students pursuing that degree are at homein both Arts and Science.
About the Bachelor of Arts and Science (Undergraduate)3
In September 2005, the Faculties of Arts and of Science introduced the Bachelor of Arts and Science degree. The Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A. & Sc.)is a special and unique degree that is jointly offered by McGill’s two largest faculties: the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science.
The programs in the B.A. & Sc. are rooted in both Arts and Science and carry roughly equal course weight in these faculties. The B.A. & Sc. is aninterdisciplinary degree intended for students who want to pursue simultaneously a program offered by the Faculty of Arts and one offered by the Facultyof Science or a program offered jointly by both faculties. In the case of some disciplines, such as Sustainability or Cognitive Science, this duality is inherentto the discipline. In other cases, the student may choose to join equal measures of an Arts discipline and Science discipline into a coherent interdisciplinarypackage. Examples might be Anthropology and Geological Sciences, or Philosophy and Mathematics. The central objective of the B.A. & Sc. is to providestudents with a broad education that includes study of disciplines in both faculties. This new degree gives students a unique opportunity to achieve a diverseknowledge base, to gain competence in different methods of scholarship, to hone intellectual flexibility, and to integrate material across disciplines.
This is the right degree for students who are firmly committed to such a disciplinary duality. By the same token, it is the wrong choice for students who areundecided between Arts or Science disciplines. Because the B.A. & Sc. is intended for students with well-defined interdisciplinary interests, it is not meantas a "compromise" between a B.A. and a B.Sc. degree. If you are more interested in Arts , but would like to study some Science, you can do so within theB.A. degree. Similarly, if you are more interested in Science , but would like to study some Arts, you can do so within the B.Sc. degree.

2017-2018, Bachelor of Arts and Science, McGill University (Published August 22, 2017)12
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
While departmental and Faculty advisers and staff are always available to give advice and guidance, the ultimate responsibility for completeness andcorrectness of course selection and registration, for compliance with, and completion of, program and degree requirements, and for the observance ofregulations and deadlines rests with you. It is your responsibility to seek guidance from the SOUSA Office if in any doubt; misunderstanding or misapprehensionwill not be accepted as cause for dispensation from any regulation, deadline, program, or degree requirement.
To be eligible for a B.A. & Sc., you must fulfil all Faculty degree and program requirements as indicated in the following sections:
• section 5.1: Minimum Credit Requirement
• section 5.2: Residency Requirement
• University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Student Records > : Grading and Grade Point Averages (GPA)
• section 5.3: Time and Credit Limit for Completion of the Degree
• section 5.5: Course Requirements
Minimum Credit Requirement5.1
You must complete the minimum credit requirement for the degree as specified in your letter of admission.
Students are normally admitted to a four-year degree requiring the completion of 120 credits, but Advanced Standing of up to 30 credits may be granted ifyou obtain satisfactory results in the Diploma of Collegial Studies, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, Advanced Levels, and AdvancedPlacement tests.
If you are readmitted after interrupting your studies for a period of five consecutive years or more, you may be required to complete a minimum of 60 creditsand satisfy the requirements of a program. In this case, a new GPA will be calculated. The Director of Advising Services, Science, in consultation with theappropriate department, may approve a lower minimum for students who had completed 60 credits or more before interrupting their studies.
If you are readmitted after a period of absence, you are normally subject to the program and degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission.
Residency Requirement5.2
To obtain a B.A. & Sc., you must satisfy the following residency requirements: a minimum of 60 credits of courses used to satisfy the B.A. & Sc. requirementsmust be taken and passed at McGill, exclusive of any courses completed as part of the math and science requirements of the B.A. & Sc. Freshman program.At least two-thirds of all departmental program requirements (Multi-track, Honours, Interfaculty) must normally be completed at McGill, not includingcourses completed in a prior McGill degree. Exceptionally, students in major concentrations or interfaculty or honours programs who pursue an approvedStudy Away or Exchange program may, with prior approval from both their department and the Director of Advising Services, Faculty of Science, beexempted from the two-thirds rule. In addition, some departments may require that their students complete specific components of their program at McGill.
Time and Credit Limit for Completion of the Degree5.3
If you need 96 or fewer credits to complete your degree requirements, you are expected to complete your degree in no more than eight terms after your initialregistration. If you are a student in the Freshman program, you become subject to these regulations one year after your initial registration. If you need orwant to exceed this time limit, you must receive permission from the Director of Advising Services, Science, to continue your studies.
If you are registered in the B.A. & Sc., you are expected to complete the requirements of your program and your degree within 120 credits. You will receivecredit for all courses (subject to degree regulations) taken up to and including the semester in which you obtain 120 credits. If you want to remain at McGillbeyond that semester, you must also seek permission of the Director of Advising Services, Science. Permission for exceeding the time and/or credit limitswill normally be granted only for valid academic reasons, such as a change of program (subject to departmental approval) and part-time status. If permissionis granted, you will receive credit only for required and complementary courses necessary to complete program requirements.
Departmental Programs5.4
If you are pursuing a B.A. & Sc., other than those registered in the Freshman program, you are required to have an approved program (multi-track, honours,joint honours, interfaculty), and to select your courses in each term with a view to timely completion of your degree and program requirements. You mustcomplete one of the program streams described below.
The B.A. & Sc. degree includes a required integrative course (BASC 201, 3 credits), plus electives (10–15 credits).
Multi-Track System5.4.1
To recognize the diversity of student backgrounds and interests, and the multiple routes to understanding provided by a modern university, the Faculties ofArts and of Science offer a 90-credit multi-track system that includes a major concentration in one faculty complemented by a major concentration in theother faculty (see below):
13McGill University, Bachelor of Arts and Science, 2017-2018 (Published August 22, 2017)
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Option
• Arts Major Concentration (36 credits) + Science Major Concentration (36–38 credits) (see section 9: Overview of Programs Offered for a list ofprograms open to students in the B.A. & Sc.)
* Effective September 2013, the multi-track option to complete two minors or two minor concentrations is no longer available. Only one multi-trackoption remains.
Regulations
• Programs offered by Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, and Psychology are considered Science programs for the purpose of the B.A. &Sc. Exceptionally, you may take a Geography program in both Arts and Science.
• Students will include within the 36 credits of their major concentrations any university-level (200 or above) prerequisites to required courses withintheir programs.
• No course may fulfil the requirements for more than one program.
Definitions
• Units: academic departments or administrative equivalents• Programs: lists of required and complementary courses (including university-level prerequisites for required courses) prepared and maintained by
units• Major Concentration: a program of 36–38 credits taken from a unit's course offerings
Honours Program5.4.2
Honours programs demand a high degree of specialization, and require you to satisfy specific departmental and Faculty Honours requirements whilemaintaining good Academic Standing. They are designed to prepare you for graduate study. Students in the B.A. & Sc. who complete an approved honoursprogram must also complete an approved minor concentration or a minor in the Faculties of Arts or of Science. You must complete at least 21 credits in theFaculty of Arts and at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Science as part of your honours program and your minor concentration or minor program. See section9.3: Honours Programs for a list of available programs.
To choose the Honours option, you must meet the GPA/CGPA requirements set out in University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Graduation> Graduation Honours > : Honours and First-Class Honours for Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.).
Joint Honours Program5.4.3
If you want to study at the honours level in two disciplines, you can combine a joint honours program component from an Arts discipline with one from aScience discipline; see section 9.4: Joint Honours Programs for a list of available programs. Each joint honours component consists of a maximum of 36–38required and complementary credits (not including program prerequisites). In cases where a minimum of 24 credits are in courses normally restricted toHonours students, the total of required and complementary credits may be as few as 30.
To choose the Joint Honours option, you must meet the GPA/CGPA requirements set out in University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate >Graduation > Graduation Honours > : Honours and First-Class Honours for Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.).
Interfaculty Program5.4.4
An interfaculty program is an approved selection of courses constituting a concentration in an intellectually coherent and interfaculty field of studies. Thesecourses must include approved selections from the Faculties of Arts and of Science and possibly other faculties. See section 9.5: Interfaculty Programs fora list of approved programs. Students in the B.A. & Sc. who complete an approved interfaculty program must also complete an approved minor concentrationor a minor in the Faculties of Arts or of Science. You must complete at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Arts and at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Scienceas part of your interfaculty program and your minor concentration or minor program.
Course Requirements5.5
All required and complementary courses used to fulfil program requirements, including the Freshman program, must be completed with a grade of C orbetter. If you fail to obtain a satisfactory grade in a required course, you must either pass the supplemental examination in the course or do additional workfor a supplemental grade, if these options are available, or repeat the course. Course substitution will be allowed only in special cases; students should consulttheir academic adviser.
Normally, you are permitted to repeat a failed course only once. (Failure is considered to be a grade of less than C or the administrative failures of J andKF.) If a required course is failed a second time, you must appeal to the Director of Advising Services, Science, for permission to take the course a thirdtime. If permission is denied by the Director of Advising Services and/or by the Committee on Student Standing of the Faculty of Science, on appeal, you
2017-2018, Bachelor of Arts and Science, McGill University (Published August 22, 2017)14
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
must withdraw from the program. If the failed course is a complementary course required by the program, you may choose to replace it with another appropriatecomplementary course. If you choose to substitute another complementary course for a complementary course in which a D was received, credit for the firstcourse will still be given, but as an elective. If you repeat a required course in which a D was received, credit will be given only once.
The B.A. & Sc. degree includes a required integrative course (BASC 201, 3 credits), plus electives (10–15 credits).
For a list of all programs available to B.A. & Sc. students, and full details of the course requirements for all programs as well as the locations of departmentaladvisory offices, program directors, and telephone numbers for further information, see section 9: Overview of Programs Offered.
Course Overlap5.5.1
You will not receive additional credit toward your degree for any course that overlaps in content with a course for which you have already received creditat McGill, CEGEP, at another university, or Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or French Baccalaureate.It is your responsibility to consult with a faculty adviser in Arts OASIS, the Science Office for Undergraduate Advising (SOUSA), or the department offeringthe course as to whether or not credit can be obtained and to be aware of exclusion clauses specified in the course description in this publication. Please referto the following website for specific information about Advanced Standing credits and McGill course exemptions: www.mcgill.ca/students/transfercredit.
Sometimes the same course is offered by two different departments. Such courses are called "double-prefix" courses. When such courses are offeredsimultaneously, you should take the course offered by the department in which you are obtaining your degree. For example, in the case of double-prefixcourses CHEM XYZ and PHYS XYZ, Chemistry students take CHEM XYZ and the Physics students take PHYS XYZ. If a double-prefix course is offeredby different departments in alternate years, you may take whichever course best fits your schedule.
Note for Arts Students: Credit for computer courses offered by the School of Computer Science is governed by rules specified in each individualcourse description.
Note for Science and Bachelor of Arts and Science students:
Credit for statistics courses offered by faculties other than Arts and Science requires the permission of the Director of Advising Services, Science,except for students in the B.Sc. Major in Environment, who may take required statistics courses in the Faculty of Agricultural and EnvironmentalSciences necessary to satisfy their program requirements.

If you need 96 or fewer credits to complete your degree requirements, you must consult an academic adviser in your proposed department of study to obtainadvice and approval of your course selection (please see section 5.4: Departmental Programs). To facilitate program planning, you must present yourtranscript(s) and letter of admission. If you have not fulfilled the B.A. & Sc. Freshman program requirements, you should also seek advice from an adviserin the Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA). For a detailed description of advising and registration procedures, refer to UniversityRegulations and Resources > Undergraduate > : Undergraduate Advising, : Registration, and to the website for newly admitted undergraduate students,as well as the SOUSA website, and finally your department's website.
If you need 97–120 credits to complete your degree requirements, you will normally be registered in a Freshman program until you complete your first year.You must consult an adviser in the Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) to obtain advice and approval of your course selection. Fora detailed description of advising and registration procedures, you should refer to www.mcgill.ca/newstudents, and to the information on the SOUSA website.
Advising for all returning students takes place in March for the upcoming academic year. For more information, refer to www.mcgill.ca/basc/students/advising.
Choosing a B.A. & Sc. Program6.1
The B.A. & Sc. is intended for students with well-defined interdisciplinary interests. There are several options for the main program, all of which specify75–80 of the 90 credits, leaving only 10–15 credits for electives. Since there are relatively few electives, students entering a program in the B.A. & Sc. degreeshould have a clear idea of their objectives, goals, and intended areas of study, so that they can plan their curriculum carefully.
It should be noted that there also exists considerable flexibility within the B.A. (Faculty of Arts) and B.Sc. (Faculty of Science) programs. If you are moreinterested in Arts, but would like to study some Science, you can do so within the B.A. degree. Similarly, if you are more interested in Science, but wouldlike to study some Arts, you can do so within the B.Sc. degree. For example, B.Sc. students may complete minor concentrations in Arts and vice versa.
There are four ways to complete programs in the B.A. & Sc. degree:
Multi-Track System
The multi-track system is intended for students who want a program that includes significant components from both Arts and from Science.
2017-2018, Bachelor of Arts and Science, McGill University (Published August 22, 2017)16
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
Multi-Track System
You complete 36 credits of Arts courses, 36–38 credits of Science courses, and a required integrative course (BASC 201, 3 credits). You can combine anArts major concentration with a Science major concentration (36–38 credits each). Additional guidelines for the multi-track system can be found in section5.4: Departmental Programs. You will find the program descriptions for the major concentrations in Science, which are unique to the B.A. & Sc. withinthis section of this publication.
* Effective September 2013 the multi-track option to complete two minors or two minor concentrations is no longer available.
Descriptions of programs offered in Arts are located in Faculty of Arts > Undergraduate .
Interfaculty Programs
Interfaculty programs are interdisciplinary in nature. There are currently three such programs: Environment; Cognitive Science; and Sustainability, Scienceand Society. In these programs, you complete 54 credits of the Interfaculty program, a minor of 18 credits, and a required integrative course (BASC 201,3 credits). You must complete at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Arts and at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Science as part of your interfaculty programand your minor concentration or program.
Environment
The growth of technology, globalization of economies, and rapid increases in population and per capita consumption have all had dramatic environmentalimpacts. The Interfaculty program in Environment for the Bachelor of Arts and Science is designed to provide students with a broad “Liberal Arts/Science”training. In combination with careful mentoring, this program offers a great degree of flexibility, allowing students to develop the skills and knowledgebase required to address the myriad of environmental problems that exist today. Further information about Environment programs and academic advisingcan be found at www.mcgill.ca/mse.
Cognitive Science
The Interfaculty program in Cognitive Science offered within the B.A. & Sc. degree is the only major program currently offered at McGill for studentsinterested in this discipline. The requirements encourage you to choose courses in two of the five subject areas in Cognitive Science (Computer Science,Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy, Psychology) as the focus of your program. In addition, if you are interested in research in this field, you may includeup to 12 credits of research courses within your program. Further information can be found at www.mcgill.ca/cogsci.
Sustainability, Science and Society
Food security, access to clean water, poverty, climate change, biodiversity loss, sustainable energy production—a long list of challenges face humansocieties in the 21st century. In the face of these multiple challenges, the grand imperative of the 21st century is Sustainable Well-being—in other words,how can we provide for a world population that could stabilize at 9–10 billion, while also maintaining the Earth’s life support systems. Find out more aboutthis interdisciplinary program at www.geog.mcgill.ca/SSS/index.html.
Joint Honours
The Joint Honours option is similar to the multi-track system except that you complete two joint honours components, one in Arts and one in Science.Currently, the choice of Science component is restricted to either Math or Psychology. However, there is a great range of choices for the Arts component.
To choose the Joint Honours option, you must meet the GPA/CGPA requirements set out in University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate >Graduation > Graduation Honours > : Honours and First-Class Honours for Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.).
Honours
There are three B.A. & Sc. Honours programs. The Honours programs in Environment; Cognitive Science; and Sustainability, Science and Society aresimilar to their relevant Interfaculty programs, but each has additional GPA requirements and an additional 6-credit required research course. If you arecompleting an honours program, you must also complete a minor concentration or program, and a required integrative course (BASC 201, 3 credits). Youmust complete at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Arts and at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Science as part of your honours program and your minorconcentration or program.
To choose the Honours option, you must meet the GPA/CGPA requirements set out in University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate >Graduation > Graduation Honours > : Honours and First-Class Honours for Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.).
Preparation for Graduate School6.2
Any choice of undergraduate degree and program constrains options for graduate school. The B.A. & Sc. provides good preparation for graduate degrees inintegrated disciplines such as Cognitive or Environmental Science as well as in the new Sustainability, Science and Society program. Depending on the Artsor Science specific program you want to enter in graduate school, the B.A. & Sc. may or may not be adequate preparation. If you intend to pursue an Artsor Science specific program at the graduate level, you should consult academic advisers in that discipline at McGill and at universities where you intend toapply in order to find out whether the B.A. & Sc. will prepare you adequately. If you are considering continuing on in a specific Science graduate program,
17McGill University, Bachelor of Arts and Science, 2017-2018 (Published August 22, 2017)
ADVISING
you should examine the difference between the preparation provided by the 36-credit major concentrations in the B.A. & Sc. program versus the significantlymore specialized major and honours programs offered in the B.Sc. programs.
Freshman Interest Groups7
Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs) are groups of approximately 15 U0 students in the B.Sc. or B.A. & Sc., led by a professor in the Faculty of Science orFaculty of Medicine and an upper-year undergraduate student. They meet once every two weeks in the Fall semester to discuss a wide range of topics, suchas science in the news, program choices, undergraduate research opportunities, or just aspects of life in Montreal. The purpose of a FIG is to ease the transitionto McGill and Montreal and to provide you an opportunity to interact with a professor and with other U0 students in a small group. FIGs carry no credit andthere is no charge. For more information and to see how to register, refer to www.mcgill.ca/science/student/fig.
Examinations8
You should see University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > : Examinations: General Information for information about final examinationsand deferred examinations.
The exam schedules are posted on the McGill website, www.mcgill.ca/students/exams, normally one month after the start of classes for the tentativeExamination Schedule, and two months after the start of classes for the final Examination Schedule.
Students are warned not to make travel arrangements to leave Montreal prior to the scheduled end of any examination period.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration English - Cultural Studies (36 credits)10.15.4
The Cultural Studies option concentrates on analysis of forms of cultural expression and symbolic interaction, and of the various media through which thesemay be disseminated and transformed. Such study concerns symbolic form, aesthetically based forms of analysis, and the various modes of criticism andtheory relevant to media which contain both verbal and non-verbal elements. The aim is above all to hone students' analytical and interpretive skills whileintroducing them to specific critical approaches to cultural studies. This is not a major in journalism or communications; and while many of our graduatesgo on to do creative work in a variety of media, instruction in film and video production is not part of the curriculum.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Health Geography (18 credits)10.19.4
There is increasing consensus around the idea that health is not just an expression of individual characteristics but an interaction between the characteristicsof the individual and the environments, both physical and social, to which one is exposed over a lifetime of daily living and working. Health outcomes varydramatically by physical and social characteristics of places both within and between countries and these provide a wedge for our understanding of the factorsthat might be modified to improve the health of large groups of people. The B.A.; Minor Concentration in Health Geography introduces students to bothlocal and global health issues and provides a skill set in spatial and statistical analyses of diverse health outcomes in populations.

Stream 4: Environment and Agricultural Resources
Stream 1: Economic Development and Living Standards
Experience has shown that development requires economic growth and is shaped by the distribution of economic resources. At the same time, the globalizedeconomy has created new opportunities and new challenges for sustained growth. Courses in this stream revolve around the factors contributing to sustainedeconomic growth, the trade-offs associated with different ways of achieving it, and the distributional issues development inevitably raises. More generally,this stream is also concerned with understanding what "development" actually entails in different contexts.

Stream 3: Culture and Society
The courses in this stream focus on how the social structures, history, and culture of populations affect developmental processes. Associations, class, gender,religion, race, and ethnicity, for example, all shape development in multiple and diverse ways. Moreover, present developmental processes oftentimes cannotbe adequately understood without considering history. Culture, in turn, is increasingly recognized within development studies as both a determinant and aconstitutive element of development. In exploring all three, the courses in this stream provide important insight into the complex and varied relationshipbetween social context and development.

Stream 4: Environment and Agricultural Resources
Within development studies, the environment has long been recognized as a vital determinant of development. More recently, many scholars have changedtheir environmental focus to emphasize sustainability. The courses in this stream recognize both: some courses consider how the environment can be exploitedto promote human well-being while others consider how the environment must be respected to render development sustainable. Together, they highlight thedelicate balance that must be attained between humans and their environments to make possible sustainable livelihoods.

Stream 1: Economic Development and Living Standards
Experience has shown that development requires economic growth and is shaped by the distribution of economic resources. At the same time, the globalizedeconomy has created new opportunities and new challenges for sustained growth. Courses in this stream revolve around the factors contributing to sustainedeconomic growth, the trade-offs associated with different ways of achieving it, and the distributional issues development inevitably raises. More generally,this stream is also concerned with understanding what "development" actually entails in different contexts.

Stream 3: Culture and Society
The courses in this stream focus on how the social structures, history, and culture of populations affect developmental processes. Associations, class, gender,religion, race, and ethnicity, for example, all shape development in multiple and diverse ways. Moreover, present developmental processes oftentimes cannotbe adequately understood without considering history. Culture, in turn, is increasingly recognized within development studies as both a determinant and aconstitutive element of development. In exploring all three, the courses in this stream provide important insight into the complex and varied relationshipbetween social context and development.

Stream 3: Culture and Society
The courses in this stream focus on how the social structures, history, and culture of populations affect developmental processes. Associations, class, gender,religion, race, and ethnicity, for example, all shape development in multiple and diverse ways. Moreover, present developmental processes oftentimes cannotbe adequately understood without considering history. Culture, in turn, is increasingly recognized within development studies as both a determinant and aconstitutive element of development. In exploring all three, the courses in this stream provide important insight into the complex and varied relationshipbetween social context and development.

Stream 4: Environment and Agricultural Resources
Within development studies, the environment has long been recognized as a vital determinant of development. More recently, many scholars have changedtheir environmental focus to emphasize sustainability. The courses in this stream recognize both: some courses consider how the environment can be exploitedto promote human well-being while others consider how the environment must be respected to render development sustainable. Together, they highlight thedelicate balance that must be attained between humans and their environments to make possible sustainable livelihoods.

The Minor Concentration Mathematics is offered in two versions: an expandable version, for students who wish to leave open the option of expanding theprogram into a Major Concentration Mathematics, and a non-expandable version for students who know on entry into the Minor that they do not wish toexpand it into a major concentration.
The Minor Concentration Mathematics may be taken in conjunction with a major concentration in some other discipline under option A of the Multi-trackSystem. Students planning on taking the Major Concentration Mathematics and the Minor Concentration Mathematics as part of Multi-track option C shouldselect the Supplementary Minor Concentration in Mathematics in place of this Minor concentration.
Under option C, it is not possible to combine the Minor Concentration Mathematics and the Minor Concentration Statistics. Students wishing to do thisshould instead take the Major Concentration Mathematics under option B (two major concentrations) and select a large number of statistics complementaries.
For more information about the Multi-track System options please refer to the Faculty of Arts regulations under "Faculty Degree Requirements", "AboutProgram Requirements", and "Departmental Programs".
No overlap is permitted with other programs.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Statistics (18 credits)10.28.2
The Minor Concentration Statistics is offered only in a non-expandable version, that is, one that cannot be expanded into the Major Concentration Mathematics.
2017-2018, Bachelor of Arts and Science, McGill University (Published August 22, 2017)246
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
The Minor Concentration Statistics may be taken in conjunction with a major concentration in some other discipline under option A of the Multi-trackSystem, or together with the Major Concentration Mathematics and a minor concentration (which must be in some other discipline than Mathematics) underoption C.
Under option C, it is not possible to combine the Minor Concentration Statistics and the Minor Concentration Mathematics. Students wishing to do thisshould instead take the Major Concentration Mathematics under option B (two major concentrations) and select a large number of statistics complementaries.
For more information about the Multi-track System options please refer to the Faculty of Arts regulations under "Faculty Degree Requirements", "AboutProgram Requirements", and "Departmental Programs".
No overlap is permitted with other programs.

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Minor Physics (18 credits)10.30.1
The 18-credit Minor permits no overlap with any other programs. It contains no Mathematics courses, although many of the courses in it have Math pre- orcorequisites. It will, therefore, be particularly appropriate to students in Mathematics, but it is also available to any Science student with the appropriatemathematical background.
Students in certain programs (e.g., the Major Chemistry) will find that there are courses in the Minor that are already part of their program, or that they maynot take for credit because of a substantial overlap of material with a course or courses in their program. After consultation with an adviser, such studentsmay complete the Minor by substituting any other physics course(s) from the Major or Honours Physics programs.

Revision, May 2017. Start of revision.
Students who wish to study at the Honours level in two Arts disciplines may apply to combine Joint Honours Program components from two Arts disciplines.
Prior to registering for each Joint Honours component, students should consult an adviser in each department for approval of their course selection and theirinterdisciplinary research project (if applicable).
To enter, remain and graduate in Joint Honours, students must achieve/maintain a 3.3 average in their political science courses and more than half of thepolitical science grades must be at the B+ level or higher. According to Faculty regulations, Joint Honours students must maintain a minimum CGPA of3.00 in general. In addition to meeting these Political Science requirements, students must meet the requirements set forth by the other department.
To be awarded First Class Joint Honours at graduation, in addition to the Faculty requirement of a 3.50 CGPA, students must achieve a 3.6 average in theirpolitical science courses and more than half of political science grades must be at the A- level or higher. All political science courses taken at McGill arecounted in determining a student's standing. (The specific criteria are given in the brochure "Major and Honours Program Guide", which may be found onthe Department website http://www.mcgill.ca/politicalscience/.) To be awarded Joint Honours at graduation, students must be registered in the Joint Honoursprogram in their final year. At graduation, students' Joint Honours standing will be determined by their overall record in the Joint Honours program. Inaddition to meeting these Political Science requirements, students must meet the requirements set forth by the other department.
Students may enter the Joint Honours program in U1.
Required Course (6 credits)
Political Science Research Methods(3)POLI 210*
Introduction to Quantitative Political Science(3)POLI 311**
* The POLI 210 requirement is waived for students admitted to McGill BEFORE Fall 2017. The POLI 210 requirement is waived for students who havetaken SOCI 211.
NOTE: If the POLI 210 requirement is waived, students must still fulfill the 36-credit program requirement.
** POLI 311 is required except for those students who are enrolled in a Joint Honours program with Economics or Sociology, and who have taken coursesin quantitative analysis as part of that program (i.e., ECON 257 or SOC 350 and SOCI 461). These students must take an additional 3 credits in PoliticalTheory instead of POLI 311.
POLI 311 is scheduled in the winter term only. Students may not postpone taking POLI 311 with the expectation of taking it in the last summer or fallimmediately prior to fall or winter graduation. Students who fail to take POLI 311 for this reason will not graduate with an Honours degree.
Complementary Courses (30 credits)
30 credits of complementary courses selected with the following specifications.
No more than one-half (18 credits) of a student's political science credits may be in any one field (Canadian Politics, Comparative Politics (Developed Areasand Developing Areas), International Relations, Political Theory). However, if the field is Comparative Politics and if courses are taken in both DevelopedAreas and Developing Areas, the maximum is 21 credits. Refer to the lists below for course choices in each field.
One quarter (9 credits) of political science credits must be at the 400-level or above including one 500-level Honours Seminar or one 600-level GraduateSeminar. This one-quarter rule may be satisfied by taking a 500-level Honours Seminar and a 600-level Graduate Seminar. Refer to the lists below for coursechoices at the 400 and 500 levels in each field. Consult the Minerva Class Schedule for 600-level course choices.
No more than 15 credits of political science may be at the 200 level. Students may not take 200-level political science courses in their final year.
No more than 12 POLI transfer credits can be used toward the program requirements.
Course lists for each field of political science are provided below.
NOTE: POLI 200 and 461 can also be used towards this program.

Sanskrit is the language of classical Indian civilization and is recommended for students interested in gaining access to religious texts, philosophical works,academic treatises on all subjects, and poetry written in classical and medieval India.
Classical Tibetan is one of the main scriptural languages of Buddhism.

Tamil is a language spoken by over 75,000,000 people around the world. It is an ancient South Indian language that, unlike Sanskrit, has a vital, livingtradition. It has a classical literary canon and yet is also part of the everyday lives of millions of people.
