Combined Honours
Contemporary Studies Program students must take 21 credit hours across two honours subjects. They are required to take the program’s three core courses:
- CTMP2000.06
- CTMP3000.06
- CTMP4000.06
plus at least four half-credit CSP electives.
The requirements for the second honours subject are dependent on that department, and vary from program to program. Students may fulfil the honours requirement (which gives them the 21st credit necessary to graduate with honours) in either of the two honours subjects. Usually, but not necessarily, this subject will be the one in which the student has taken more classes. The honours requirement in CSP is satisfied by writing an honours thesis, which is defended at an oral examination.
