Degree and Certificate Programs

Specific information about course content, subject matter, and the structure of Honours or B.A. programs is obtainable from the academic departments within the Faculty.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers programs in four degrees and four certificates.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

The four-year B.A.(Honours) provides rigorous and extensive study in one or two disciplines. The Honours degree is necessary for entry to certain fields of employment, and is a desirable preparation for graduate studies and professional training, including teaching.

The three-year B.A. program provides a liberal university education of value either as a general intellectual preparation for a great number of non-specialized careers, or as an introduction to subsequent specialized study.

Bachelor of Humanities (B.Hum.)

The four-year Honours program is a highly prescribed and intensive course of study in the core disciplines of the liberal arts. In addition to the prescribed core curriculum, students may choose one of four concentrations: Liberal Arts, History, Philosophy and Literature.

Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.)

The four-year Honours program prepares students for graduate studies in musicology and ethnomusicology, and gives an essential background for careers in music librarianship, music administration, and teaching. The program is offered by the Music discipline of the School for Studies in Art and Culture.

Certificate in English Language and Composition (C.E.L.C.)

This is a 5.0-credit post-degree certificate intended primarily for practising teachers, to upgrade their knowledge of areas of language and of writing theory that underlie the new Ontario guidelines. It is also open to persons without a degree who hold a teaching certificate. The program is offered by the Department of English Language and Literature.

Certificate in French Language Studies (C.F.L.S.)

This is a 6.0-credit program designed to permit people who already have some knowledge of French to achieve a high level of proficiency in the language. The program should be of particular interest to mid- and senior-level public servants, business people, teachers and other professionals as well as members of the general public. The program is offered by the Department of French.

Certificate in French Translation Studies (C.F.T.S.)

This is a 6.0-credit program designed to permit students to acquire and improve skills in translation from English to French. While it is not a professional program, this certificate should meet the needs of those who are occasionally called upon to translate in their work environment. The program is offered by the Department of French.

Certificate in the Teaching of English as a Second Language (C.T.E.S.L.)

This is a 5.0-credit program in the theory and practice of teaching English as a second language. The program is offered by the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies.

Part-Time Study

Part-time study is a viable method of attaining a degree in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

Part-time students who wish to limit their studies to evening and summer times should note that the following academic units teach a range of courses in the evening and during the summer that will permit students to complete a Major in their discipline.

Art History
Canadian Studies
English Language and Literature
Film Studies
French
Geography
History
Linguistics and Applied Language Studies
Music
Philosophy
Psychology
Religion
Sociology/Anthropology

Instead of giving unit names, it would make more sense to give the available Majors.

Students have the choice between full- and part-time registration and may alternate freely between the two.

Students wishing to pursue an Honours degree on a part-time basis are urged to consult with the appropriate academic unit(s) about the scheduling of courses.

Instructional Television

Instructional Television offers an alternative mode of access to courses offered at Carleton University. Your learning experience at Carleton University may include a mix of on-campus and television courses. For detailed information about itv refer to p. 57.
