Program Combination Notes:
- Programs in the same discipline may not be combined; for example, an Honours Specialization in History may not be combined with a Major in History or a Minor in History.
- A course may only count for credit towards one program; for example, in a four-year Double Major in Sociology and Social Welfare and Social Development, SOCI 1016 is a required course for both majors. Although a student may use this course to satisfy the requirement in both programs, they must still present a total of 36 credits in each major.
