Combined Honours
An EMSP student is required to take the program’s three core courses:
- EMSP2000.06
- EMSP3000.06
- EMSP4000.06
plus at least two half-credit EMSP electives.
The requirements for the second honours subject are dependent on that department, and vary from program to program. Early Modern Studies 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 this subject will be the one in which the student has taken more classes. In the Early Modern Studies Program, completion of the Honours Seminar fulfils the requirement of the honours qualifying examination; alternatively, with the approval of the director, an honours thesis may also fulfil the requirement of the honours qualifying examination. Both the Honours Thesis and Honours Seminar are full-year classes. They are normally taken as part of a regular (five-credit) course load. The Honours Seminar will not be offered in the 2017/18 academic year.
