Program
Requirements
Students may enrol in an Honours BA, an Honours Major / Minor BA, an Honours Double Major BA or a Specialized Honours BA. Note that not all courses listed below will be offered in any one year. Students should consult with the Departmental Chair and/or the Student Advisor before choosing courses.
NOTE: Graduate Studies
Students should take into consideration that most graduate programs require a course in international relations and introductory courses in micro-economics and macro-economics. Some require International Economics (Trade and Finance) and/or an upper year level course in methodology. Students who intend to apply to a graduate program in International Studies after completing their B.A. at York should carefully check the requirements of the program(s) they intend to apply for and ensure that required courses are included in their undergraduate program. They can best fulfill the requirements by doing a Double Major Program, combining a major in International Studies and a major in another program at Glendon.
