General Information
On the Saint John campus there are a variety of programs leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Arts: Majors programs in Biology, French,
Information and Communication Studies, International Studies, Linguistics,
Mathematics, Philosophy, Sport and Exercise Psychology, and Statistics,
and Majors and Honours programs in Economics, English, History, Politics,
Psychology and Sociology.
BA Degree Regulations
INTENT. The
BA Degree regulations are intended to ensure that the student is exposed to a
diversity of academic disciplines in the first half of the degree program, and
to give the student a more specialized and concentrated knowledge of one or
two academic disciplines in the second half of the program. Students are
responsible for ensuring that their course of study meets the BA Degree
regulations.
Grading System and Classification
The grading system
used is that adopted by the University in 1974. The regulations governing
grades, grade points, grade point averages and cumulative grade point
averages for the BA degree are the same as the General University
Regulations, for full-time students, part-time students, and for students
enrolled before 1974. For their own benefit all students should study these
regulations carefully (see Section B of the Calendar).
• The BA degree will be granted on successful completion of a minimum of
40 term-courses. A term-course must be between 3 and 5 credit hours
to be included in the general BA regulations. Some programs may
require courses of lesser values, but these will not count in the general
BA requirements (min. 3 ch each term-course). Certain Honours
programs may require successful completion of more than 40 termcourses. A full-year course of 6 or more credit hours will count as 2
term-courses. A grade of D or above indicates successful completion
of a course, except as stated elsewhere in the Calendar.
• Normally, the student will successfully complete 20 term-courses at the
lower-level (i.e. courses whose number begins with 1 or 2) before
taking the 20 term-courses, or more for certain Honours programs, of
upper-level courses (i.e. courses whose numbers begin with 3 or 4)

which complete the degree program, in accordance with the
requirements of either one or two majors programs. Under special
circumstances, up to 4 lower level term-courses may be substituted in
the total of 20 term-courses of upper-level courses. The written
permission of the appropriate chair(s) is required for such a
concession.
• During the session in which students expect to complete successfully the
first 20 term-courses, they must choose one or two academic
disciplines or fields of study in which they wish to specialize. If the
students choose to specialize in one academic discipline or field of
study they are said to be taking a single major; if they choose to
specialize in two academic disciplines or fields of study they are said
to be taking a double major. Students with a high grade point average
may apply to honour rather than major, in one or two disciplines. The
honours programs involve more intensive study and are typically
taken by students in preparation for postgraduate work. When students
have decided on the academic discipline(s) or field(s) of study in
which they wish to specialize, they must apply to the appropriate
Department(s)/ Discipline(s) for permission to enter the majors
program(s) concerned. Students who fail to apply for acceptance to a
majors program after they have successfully completed 20 termcourses may find that they will be required to complete successfully
more than 40 term-courses in order to fulfill the majors requirements
and get a degree. A student must fulfill the requirement for one or
more Majors program(s) in order to obtain a BA Degree. Course
selections for students in majors programs must be approved by the
appropriate Department Chair(s), or their designate.
• Among the 20 term-courses at the lower-level, a student must successfully
complete at least 2 term-courses in three of the four groups listed
below. Up to 6 term-courses may be taken in any one discipline, but
not more than 4 term-courses may be taken in any other discipline.
For students pursuing a double major, this may be amended to allow
up to 5 term-courses in each of the disciplines the student is double
majoring in subject to Department Chair approval.
Group 1 Humanities: Classics, English, History, Humanities, Philosophy,
World Literature. Courses in French, German, or Spanish Civilization
also form part of this group.
Group 2 - Languages: French,
German, Greek, Latin, Spanish. (NOTE: Courses in French, German,
or Spanish Civilization do not form part of this group.)
Group 3 Social Science: Economics, Gender Studies, Geography, Information
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
& Communication Studies, International Studies, Linguistics, Politics,
Psychology, Sociology, Sport and Exercise Psychology.
Group 4 Science: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology,
Information Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Science, Statistics.
• With the exceptions noted below only credit hours successfully completed
in disciplines listed above will count towards the BA degree.
a.
Subject to the agreement of the appropriate departments, up to a
maximum of 4 term-courses of core Education courses can be counted
towards a BA degree.
b. Some core Education courses ( ED 3031 ,
ED 3041 , ED 3051 , ED 3063 ), as well as ED 3561 and ED 4562 for
Arts students who are registered in the Certificate in Teaching English
as a Second Language (CTESL) Program, can be counted as Arts
elective credits, up to the maximum of 4 term-courses. Methods
courses in Education are not eligible for Arts elective credits. Noncore Education courses which are similar to Arts courses, may be
considered for Arts elective credit on an individual basis by the Dean
of Arts.
c. All courses successfully completed in Humanities
(designated HUM), Social Science (designated SOCS), Business
Administration (designated BA), and Hospitality and Tourism (HTM)
count towards a BA degree, provided that UNB course program
regulations are met. HSCI 2001 and NURS 4144 may be approved as
general electives towards the BA degree with permission from the
Dean.
• A student may not take more than 6 courses in any term without the
written permission of the Dean.
• For the purposes of the BA degree, a course offered at UNB Saint John
shall have the credit-hour rating assigned to it by the Faculty offering
the course. NOTE: Students taking courses with labs must complete
the appropriate lab requirements.
• Exceptions to these credit hour designations in the BA program may be
made only by the Dean of the Faculty and the Registrar.
• Requirements for the 20 term-courses at the upper-level are listed in the
regulations of the appropriate majors programs.
• Candidates for the degrees of BA (Major) are listed with divisions based
on the cumulative grade point averages of all courses taken. See
Section B of this Calendar, -Listing of Graduates-.
A student who attains a grade point average equal to or greater than 3.75 for
courses taken after the completion of their first 20 term-courses and no
grades less than C over the last 30 term-courses shall be awarded a
Distinction upon graduation.
