Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies is a four-year degree that does not require a major, giving students flexibility to follow their own academic interests while completing a required minor field that provides focus and a cohort of peers with similar interests. The degree is built around a core of basic competencies in literature, communication skills, and cultural heritage, and sample courses include Professional and Technical Communication and Rhetorical Communication. Program options include discipline-specific field schools held in real-world settings and study abroad opportunities. Graduates leave with a broad mix of political, social, and cultural knowledge valued by many employers, and pursue careers in the civil service, the non-profit sector, and business; the degree can also serve as a foundation for graduate study or further professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Alberta high school applicants require English Language Arts 30-1 plus four further approved courses, one of which may be an approved option; equivalent Alberta curriculum courses, IB, AP or SAT II subject test results are accepted in place of the option courses. Only one of Art 30/31, Dance 35, Drama 30 or Music 30/31 may be counted toward the admission average. The estimated competitive admission average for direct-entry high school applicants is in the high 70s (percentage scale), calculated from the required and approved option courses; early admission uses four approved courses from grade 11, standard admission uses five from grades 11-12. All applicants whose primary language of instruction was not English must separately meet the university's English language proficiency requirement. Applicants presenting 12 or more units of post-secondary coursework are assessed as transfer applicants under a separate GPA-based process rather than this high-school average.
