To graduate, you must have at least one major or honours program. Students are not required to have a minor but can elect to complete one if they wish.
Students may declare their program choices at any point during their degree but are encouraged to do so by the end of 30 credit hours, before second year of their degree. For advice on how to declare or change a major, contact artsadvising@unb.ca.
Honours programs are designed for students with a high level of ability who wish to undertake intensive study of one or two subjects, especially in preparation for graduate school. Most honours programs require an application to the department. You can discuss your options for honouring a subject with the department or program advisor.
Normally, you declare a minor on or before registration for the final year. You should consult with an academic advisor to discuss the requirements for the minor as well as its relation to your program of study. Unlike majors or honours, minor(s) do not show up on your transcript until your application for graduation is received. When you fill in your application to graduate, make sure to declare your minor or else it may not show up on your transcript.
