The UCC B.A. is a four-year degree program which students normally enter at the beginning of the first year. Entry is also possible at the second or third year levels. Students may choose from two types of UCC B.A. programs: the General B.A. (with a concentration or a Thematic Studies Option) and the Major B.A. (with or without a Minor).
The General B.A. program provides a broad liberal arts education by combining a concentration in at least one discipline or thematic area of study with requirements that ensure a broad selection of courses. The Major programs (currently available in Economics, Economic and Political Studies, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Psychology, and Sociology) allow students to focus specifically on courses in one area of study. All students in the B.A. program are exposed to a second language and to the process of scientific and formal reasoning. Moreover, the UCC B.A. program emphasizes written communication skills. Each student must complete six credits of study in writing intensive courses at both the 100-200 level and at the 300-400 level. Each program of study, however, includes a number of possible degree options. Thus, students have a good deal of freedom to design a B.A. program that suits their own individual needs. If you have any questions or require further information, contact Barb Pillar, B.A. Program Advisor (250-371-5566) or Henry Hubert, Dean of Arts (250-828-5236).
