This section describes several interdisciplinary programs leading to honours B.A. degrees, general B.A. degrees, and Certificates. Certificate programs are intended for part-time students who wish to receive recognition for studies in an area, but who do not necessarily intend to complete a degree program. Certificate programs do not have any completion time expectations. The courses which comprise certificate programs may not necessarily be available on an annual basis.
The program in International Relations links social science courses in three departments in order to provide a broad understanding of the dynamics of global society and a useful preparation for a wide variety of careers relating to the international field.
In drawing upon the resources of the Political Science, Economics, and History departments, the program aims at focussing the attention of students on the major international challenges of our time and at equipping them with the necessary historical perspectives and analytical skills to respond positively to those challenges. Furthermore, an honours degree in International Relations can furnish students with a valuable background for positions in teaching, law, politics, government service, international institutions, banking, commerce, journalism, broadcasting, and the armed forces.
The Universities of Windsor and Toronto are the only Ontario universities to offer a B.A. degree in Honours International Relations.

In making their choice, students should bear in mind that:
1) It is possible for students following the Honours International Relations program simultaneously to fulfill all the requirements for direct entry into a one-year M.A. program in Political Science, Economics, or History, provided they choose their options carefully. Students who may wish to apply for such direct entry are therefore strongly advised to study the particular admission requirements for the department concerned listed in the Graduate Calendar and to seek counselling from the graduate advisor of the appropriate department at an early stage of their undergraduate studies.
2) Not all courses listed above are offered each academic year. If for some reason a required course is not available, special arrangements can be made with the department concerned to ensure that the student's completion of the International Relations program is not jeopardized.
For further information, contact the Program Coordinator, Prof. B. E. Burton, Department of Political Science, or Prof. P. R. Burrell, Department of Economics, or Prof. I. C. Pemberton, Department of History.
The Canadian Studies Program is an interdisciplinary combination of courses selected from seven departments in the Faculties of Arts and Social Science. The program provides a liberal education and at the same time focuses upon various aspects of Canadian society.
