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.

Continuation of Studies

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 cases, particularly in the biological sciences, additional introductory courses may be needed to complete the course requirements for the major.
