REF NO.: 66
SUBJECT: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences introduces international bachelor of arts degree
DATE: March 2, 2017
With rapidly changing global media technology, the Brexit vote, the election of Donald Trump as America’s president and the ongoing refugee crisis, there is a greater need than ever to understand international interactions.
ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has addressed this need by introducing a new degree program that students can complete instead of a BA: an international bachelor of arts (iBA).
The iBA has been designed to encourage and recognize the study of peoples and institutions that transcend borders and aligns with ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University’s efforts to encourage global experiences and international perspectives.
As part of meeting the regular 120 credit-hour requirements of the BA, including declaring a major, an iBA student must select two additional language courses, complete a number of designated international studies (IS) courses and spend a semester either studying or working outside of Canada.
The iBA program is unique in Atlantic Canada; the criteria for courses receiving the IS designation are more rigorous than in comparable programs elsewhere in Canada.
Current ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ students who wish to declare an iBA can do so at any time by emailing reghelp@mun.ca from their @MUN email account.
Further details on the international BA degree program can be found .
