X--Degree Programs
Akademia is a first-year program with an integrated arts and science curriculum and a living-learning component based on specially designed residence arrangements. The program will suit qualified applicants who want to pursue a liberal education prior to making a commitment to specialize. Entry to this first-year experience is through the B.A. or B.Sc. degree program, and the admission requirements of these programs will apply. In no circumstances will the average for admission to the Akademia program be less than 75%. For further information contact the Akademia Counsellor and request the program guide.
Group A - Akademia Integrated Studies
Group B - Arts and Social Sciences
Group C - Science Courses
By the end of semester 2, Akademia students will have completed at least 3 courses from Group A (Akademia Integrated Courses). In addition, at least 1 course from each of Groups B (Arts) and C (Science) is required. With permission from the program counsellor, students may take a limited number of electives from outside the AKADEMIA curriculum. Student course selection requires approval of the Akademia Counsellor.
Upon successful completion of the Akademia experience, students will proceed into semester 3 of the B.Sc. program or apply to transfer to B.A. or another degree program. The program counsellor will advise students of options for continuation. In some instances where schedules of studies are rigidly defined, program transfer might necessitate the taking of additional introductory courses to obtain the appropriate set of program prerequisites.
