St. Thomas University's Interdisciplinary major/honours option lets students tailor a Bachelor of Arts program to their own interests and goals rather than following a single departmental major. The option draws on courses from a number of different university departments and typically centres on an emerging or cross-cutting theme, with common areas of focus including Canadian Studies, American Studies, International Relations and Social Justice. St. Thomas positions the option within its broader emphasis on student-centred learning and has been among the first Canadian universities to develop interdisciplinary majors and electives built around a student's chosen topic. Because the program is assembled from existing departmental offerings rather than a fixed course list, the specific combination of courses is arranged with the Interdisciplinary Studies coordinator. The option is available as either a major or an honours concentration within the four-year Bachelor of Arts.

Admission Requirements: No admission requirements specific to the Interdisciplinary Studies major are published; the programme page covers the option's structure and typical themes rather than entry criteria, so applicants enter through St. Thomas's general Bachelor of Arts requirements. Canadian high school applicants need graduation with a minimum 70% average on five Grade 12 academic courses, including academic English (or French for Francophone-school applicants) and four Grade 12 academic electives from STU's approved list; meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission. International applicants must show academic strength comparable to Canadian applicants and are encouraged to apply by June 1 for September entry or October 1 for January entry. Applicants whose primary language is not English must submit TOEFL, IELTS, MELAB, CAEL, Cambridge English, Duolingo or PTE Academic scores: a full course load requires TOEFL 89 (writing 4.5), IELTS 6.5, MELAB 80, CAEL 60, Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency, Duolingo 115 or PTE 62+; applicants scoring below this but meeting the academic requirements are eligible for STU's ESL programme.
