Honours Arts 2nd year course requirements

Need some guidance on which courses to choose in your second year? The information on this page will help you if you're declaring a major for Fall 2024. If you are an Arts and Business student, follow the course advice on this chart.

Each section is designed to show you the 5 courses you should add to your schedule for Fall 2024 and Winter 2025. The Schedule of Classes will list courses offered but will not be updated until mid-April.

The suggestions on this page build on the Prospective Major Chart provided for you in your first year. If you did not complete the required first-year courses for your major, consult with your major department directly about course selection advice.

If you intend to complete a minor during your academic career, once you have successfully completed one or two courses in the minor course requirements, submit a plan modification form with approvals from your advisors to add the minor to your plan. This is important since courses are often reserved for students in a major or minor, and you risk not being enrolled in your required courses when you need them. Please speak to the applicable minor advisor if you have questions about this.

Other information to review before 2A course selection

The information below is a general guideline only. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are selecting appropriate classes, either by attending a major department information session in March or by contacting the department directly.
