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).
1. 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
2012-2013 Calendar Proof
require successful completion of more than 40 term-courses. 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.
2. 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.
3. During the session in which students expect to complete successfully the first 20 termcourses, 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 term-courses 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.
4. 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 &
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.

5. 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. Non-core 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.
6. A student may not take more than 6 courses in any term without the written permission of the
Dean.
7. For the purposes of the BA degree, a course offered at UNB Saint John shall have the credithour rating assigned to it by the Faculty offering the course.
NOTE: Students taking courses with labs must complete the appropriate lab requirements.
8. Exceptions to these credit hour designations in the BA program may be made only by the
Dean of the Faculty and the Registrar.
9. Requirements for the 20 term-courses at the upper-level are listed in the regulations of the
appropriate majors programs.
10. 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-.
2012-2013 Calendar Proof
11. 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.
