A special program of studies designed to make use of the uniquely rich resources of London, England, is offered as a regular part of the B.A. program every Winter semester. The program is supervised by a faculty member from Guelph who directs the studies in London and supervises correspondence with faculty in Guelph.
Courses in London are of 2 kinds: London based courses and correspondence courses. London based courses in music, theatre and fine art are given by British tutors, and the coordinator offers courses in his/her area of interest. Students are also permitted to arrange correspondence courses to meet their particular needs.
Students wishing to apply for the London Semester should have good academic standing and should have completed at least 2 semesters at the University of Guelph at the time of application; although preference will be given to those with a cumulative average of 70% or above, all applications will be given careful consideration. More detailed information about academic requirements, bursaries, courses, etc. can be obtained from the B.A. Program Counselling Office, Room 052 in the MacKinnon Building.
Students interested in Career Counselling, or a related career, should consider the Career Development Practitioner Certificate Program (C.D.P.C.) described under in Section XI, Special Study Opportunities, of this calendar.

School of Fine Art and Music, College of Arts.
The School offers programs that allow for concentrated study in Art History or Studio Arts, or for a more balanced study in the two disciplines. Both programs, however, require work in both Studio Arts and Art History. Specific requirements are listed below.
The students who elect to take a substantial number of courses in either Art History or Studio Arts with the objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counselling from faculty regarding their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Art History will usually require a reading knowledge of at least 2 languages other than English. German, French, Italian and Latin are among the most useful choices. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts (such as History) will almost certainly prove an asset. A Studio career to the graduate level will normally require some education in all the traditional and contemporary media as well as an awareness of art theory.
All students are required to complete the following core courses:

Ellis and Young (1988) defined cognitive psychology as the "study of those mental processes which underlie and make possible our everyday ability to recognize familiar objects and people, to find our way around in the world, to speak, read and write, and to plan and execute actions, to think, make decisions and remember." They proposed two complimentary aims in the study of cognitive neuropsychology:
The Minor program in Cognitive Neuropsychology is targeted for students seeking to broaden their knowledge beyond their major area of study. It may be of particular interest to students specializing in biology or computer science. A Minor in cognitive neuropsychology will prove valuable to students seeking careers in research and medicine.

The focus of Developmental Psychology is the study of the theory, research, and applied interventions associated with the way humans develop and change over time. This focus is especially significant for anyone interested in how we might solve the challenges presented by life. These include the special challenges presented by schooling, parenting, socialization within and beyond the family, coping with stress, and some of the individual differences and atypical behaviors exhibited by ourselves or others. This program of study is designed as a complement to a significant number of Major specializations, suitable for any student wishing to broaden their knowledge beyond their Major area of study.

The European Studies program is designed for students who seek a career in International Relations - especially in International Business and Administration - between Canada and Europe. It offers a carefully structured and educationally sound combination of languages, specially designed courses in European Thought, Letters and History, and is enriched by a Study and Work Year Abroad.
The program's entry requirement is an OAC credit or proficiency equivalence in the chosen language; the required language knowledge can be acquired at the university level or at other appropriate institutions, e.g. the Goethe Institut; this, however, may delay graduation by 1 to 2 semesters.
Although the program is designed to start in semester 1, it is possible to transfer into it at a later date provided there is proof of the required language proficiency, and provided approval from the program coordinator and the departmental advisor has been obtained. Normal program entry is in the Fall semester; admission is possible in the Winter semester for internal transfer students.
The B.A. requirements of 1.50 credits from 2 different subject areas within the Colleges of Arts and Social Sciences plus 2 courses in natural and/or mathematical sciences must be fulfilled within the first 3 semesters.
The European Studies core courses are open to students from other programs; however, the two areas of emphasis and the Study and Work Year Abroad are not.
A minimum of 13.00 credits is required, including:
European Studies Core Requirement
EURO*1020 [0.50] European Culture from 1900-1960
EURO*1050 [0.50] The Emergence of a United Europe
EURO*2000 [0.50] Europe and France's Revolution
EURO*2070 [0.50] European Integration, 1957-1992
The required language courses are intended to provide the students with sufficient fluency to pursue part of their studies abroad. However, all of our partner universities offer native language courses for foreigners. Although the core requires only 1 language, it is strongly recommended that students acquire competence in more than 1 foreign language.

Year 3 or year 4 will provide students with the opportunity to continue their studies abroad. Students will select up to 6.00 credits which can be included in the area of emphasis, as electives, or both. They are subject to approval by the program coordinator and the departmental advisor. Courses taken in Europe will not count towards the specialization average.
A practicum is recommended as part of the Study and Work Year Abroad. It is however, optional. The practicum should follow the Study Year Abroad and may occupy part of semester 7. Results must be documented through a report which may be written in the language of the country of the practicum and which will be graded. Topics will be chosen by the students in consultation with their practicum supervisor, the program coordinator and the departmental advisor. The decision as to whether the student has been successful lies with the practicum supervisor and the departmental advisor. If there is no work available abroad, students may do their practicum with an international firm in Canada, or replace it with two courses from their Area of Emphasis.

School of Languages and Literatures, College of Arts.
All language courses carry 0.50 credit. Please note that students with Ontario Grade 12 credit or its equivalent in French are not normally admitted into FREN*1100. Students with OAC French or its equivalent are not normally admitted into FREN*1110. Any exception must have the approval of the Director of the School of Languages and Literatures prior to registration. Students majoring in French are advised to take elective courses in another Romance language and in Latin.
It is also recommended that students include CLAS*1000 and LING*1000 among the electives in order to derive the maximum benefit from their studies. Except where stated otherwise, literary texts are, at all levels, studied in the original language. Students registering in French courses are expected to have the appropriate academic background.
The French program encourages students to spend 1 or 2 semesters in a French-speaking province or country, or to pursue their studies in an immersion program at the university level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the University of Guelph degree requirements. Requests should be addressed well in advance of registration to the Director of the School of Languages and Literatures.

Department of Geography, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The Department of Geography provides students with a broad range of courses in Human and Physical Geography which focus on the nature and evolution of the numerous and complex physical and human environment systems of the world. Students are required to select courses from both the human and physical fields. Within the program of studies it is possible for students through course selection to follow a particular line of interest in, for example, Rural Geography, Resource Management, Urban and Economic Geography, Biophysical Resources or Geomorphology.
The 1000 level courses provide a foundation for the Geography programs and are prerequisites or are strongly recommended for many of the 2000 level courses. The 2000 level systematic courses are prerequisite to the corresponding advanced courses at the 3000 and 4000 level. All students should obtain a copy of the department program planning guide and consult with faculty before planning their course of studies.
Students contemplating graduate or professional programs of study following completion of the honours program should consult a departmental advisor for advice on additional courses that they should take.
The department also offers a B.SC. honours Earth Surface Science program (jointly with Land Resources Science), a B.SC.(ENV.) honours Environmental Geography Major program, and a B.SC. honours program Minor in Geographic Information Systems and Environmental Analysis which are described in the schedule of studies for each of the programs (Section X).

Department of Economics, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The study of Management Economics provides a suitable education for a career in the business world or in the public service, and it also constitutes a useful preparation for more advanced study, including graduate work in economics, business administration, law and public policy. The programs below combine the analytical orientation of economics with basic skills in accounting, finance and marketing and insights gained from the social and physical sciences. Students interested in a more detailed study of economics should consult the calendar entry under that title in the B.A. degree, while students interested in a more detailed management program should consult the entry under Management Economics in the B.Comm. degree.
These programs are administered by the Department of Economics and students are urged to consult departmental advisors.

Department of Philosophy, College of Arts.
The Department of Philosophy offers programs emphasizing the history of philosophy and the study of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and logic. The requirements for the various Philosophy programs are designed to ensure a basic competence in the discipline while permitting varying degrees of flexibility. It is important that students discuss their programs with a departmental advisor in order to ensure that the best selection of elective Philosophy courses is made. This is especially important for students who are contemplating graduate work in Philosophy.
Students may take both PHIL*1000, PHIL*1010 and PHIL*1050 but only one may be counted towards the minimum number of Philosophy courses required for a degree.
General Program Area of Concentration
A minimum of 5.00 credits in Philosophy is required, including:
Students must have at least 1.50 Philosophy credits at the 3000 or 4000 level.
A minimum of 8.00 credits is required, including:

Department of Political Science, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The Department of Political Science offers courses in the following areas: Theory and Analysis, Canada and the Americas, Public Policy and Administration, and Comparative / International Development. A brochure describing each of these fields of study, and containing further course information, is available from the departmental office. The Department of Political Science also participates in several interdisciplinary programs, including European Studies and International Development Studies.
Students taking courses in Political Science may enrol initially in POLS*1150, POLS*1400, POLS*1500, the latter 2 courses providing overview and introductory treatments of particular interest to students who wish to take higher level courses in the department but who do not intend to specialize in the discipline. For students intending to pursue a general or honours specialization in Political Science, however, POLS*1150 is required.
Courses at the 2000 level provide students with essential grounding in specific areas of the discipline and are normally prerequisite for enrolment in 3000 and 4000 level courses. Students in the honours program major are required to take POLS*3650, The Systematic Study of Politics. This course is also strongly recommended for students in the honours program minor.
In addition to the requirements set out in the B.A. Program Regulations, the Department of Political Science requires that students pursuing general and honours programs successfully complete a core requirement of 2.50 credits and meet specific distribution requirements as follows:
Political Science Core Requirements

Students are encouraged to consult with the departmental advisor for either of these programs about course selection, substitution of courses offered by other departments, or other matters.
Department of Psychology, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The discipline of Psychology is normally associated with the social sciences, the biological sciences, and the health professions. Specialization in Psychology at Guelph is available as a B.A. honours program major, a B.A. honours program major (co-op), and as an honours specialization in the B.SC. program (described in the schedule of studies for B.SC. programs). Through its different undergraduate programs, the Psychology Department attempts to provide a) a broad general education emphasizing psychological theory and methodology, with an empirical basis in course work (e.g. experiments and projects); b) an appropriate background in psychology for those who leave the University with an undergraduate degree to embark on careers in related areas (e.g. social services); and c) a sound preparation for graduate study in psychology. Students intending to apply for admission to graduate programs in Psychology are advised to refer to the Graduate Advisory Note.
A cumulative average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology is required to enter or continue in the Honours Psychology program major in semesters 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Minors
Students interested in a Minor in Psychology should examine the schedule of studies for the Minors in Cognitive Neuropsychology, Developmental Psychology, Organizational Behaviour, or Social Psychology. Within the BA Degree program, these are the only Honours Minors available from the Psychology Department. The department does not offer Psychology as an Honours BA Minor, or as an Area of Concentration in the General BA Program.
Special Study Opportunities
Students interested in Career Counselling, or a related career, should consider the Career Development Practiitioner Certificate Program (C.D.P.P.) described in Section XI, Special Study Opportunities of this calendar. The C.D.P.P. option allows students to complete a B.A. Degree concurrent with a Career Development Practitioner Certificate. The C.D.P.P. option is designed to be somewhat comparable to a Minor in Career Counselling.
Note on Honours Courses
Courses marked (H) are designed for students in a Honours Psychology program (Honours Program Major or Honours Program Minor in Cognitive Neuropsychology, Developmental Psychology, Organizational Behaviour, or Social Psychology), the Information Systems and Human Behaviour program, or Career Development Practitioner program (C.D.P.P.). Students in other programs wishing to take these courses must obtain the permission of the instructors concerned. Courses designated with (H) are Honours level courses requiring for registration a cumulative average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology. Courses not designated as (H) are open to all students having the prerequisites. The department also offers an array of elective courses beyond the minimum required by the Honours Psychology program (sees Section XII, Description of Courses).
Each of the Psychology programs requires that students complete at least 6 of the following 2000 level Psychology courses (3.00 credits). Psychology students are advised that they are normally expected to complete at least four 2000 level Psychology core courses prior to attempting any 3000 level Psychology courses.
However, students should take the 3000 level methodology courses PSYC*3320(H), Statistical Principles in Psychological Research and PSYC*3371/2(H), Research Methods, as early as possible, even though 4 core courses may not have been taken.

With permission of the Psychology Department PRIOR to course selection, up to 1.00 non-psychology credit that would enhance the student's studies in Psychology, especially in preparation for post-graduate work, may be credited towards the total number of credits required for graduation in the honours program major in Psychology.
Graduate Advisory Note: Most graduate programs require the student to have at least a B+ average in order to be considered for admission. Students contemplating graduate work in Psychology are strongly advised to complete the major by completing 0.50 elective credit at the 3000 level or above and 0.50 elective credit at the 4000 level beyond PSYC*4870 and PSYC*4880 which would otherwise satisfy the 3000-4000 level elective requirement for the major.
These students are encouraged to complete the Psychology major as follows:
Department of Psychology, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
Co-operative Education formally integrates the student's academic study with 3 work terms (COOP*1000, COOP*2000, COOP*3000) in co-operating employer organizations. The 3rd work term is taken concurrently with the senior co-op project course, PSYC*4910. The Co-op program is offered as a B.A. honours program major degree taken as one of two major options combined with 3 work terms. One of the options is recommended for Co-op students expecting to apply for admission to graduate studies in Psychology. (See Graduate Advisory Note.)
All Co-op students are strongly advised to complete the B.A. requirements by including in their program 3 or more courses from the listing of courses under Business Administration, to ensure that they have 1 or more courses in computer science, accounting and management, or organizational behaviour. (Business Administration is also available as a minor.) Although not required, Co-op students are strongly encouraged to select a minor as part of the program.
Depending on career aspirations, students should have a good working knowledge of one or more of the following before their first work semester: psychological measurement, quantitative methods, computer science, accounting and management, or organizational behaviour.
The first work term normally follows 3 or 4 semesters of academic study (see Section X--Co-operative Education programs). Students must be eligible to continue in the Honours Psychology program in order to remain in the Co-op program.
Admission to the Co-op program is limited and will be based on academic background. Admission will normally be considered only at semester 1 entry or during semester 2 when the student selects courses for semester 3.

At least 5.00 credits in Statistics or Mathematics is required, including:
School of Fine Art and Music, College of Arts.
The School offers programs that allow for concentrated study in Art History or in Studio Arts, or for a more balanced study in the two disciplines. Both programs, however, require work in both Studio Arts and Art History. Specific requirements are listed below.
The majority of the cost of supplies must be borne by the student. In order to permit the University to subsidize this cost and to allow for savings through discount buying, some materials are obtained through the school by payment of a lab fee. The amount of the fee is established for each semester prior to registration.
The students who elect to take a substantial number of credits in either Art History or Studio Arts with the objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counselling from faculty regarding their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Art History will usually require a reading knowledge of at least 2 languages other than English. German, French, Italian and Latin are among the most useful choices. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts (such as History) will almost certainly prove an asset. A Studio career to the graduate level will normally require some education in all the traditional and contemporary media as well as an awareness of art theory.
