6.1.1 Academic Advising and Declaring a Bachelor of Arts
A student is encouraged to consult with an academic advisor to discuss academic programs, including the Core Requirements. A student is encouraged to declare a program of study, including a Major and a Minor, before completing the first 45 credit hours of study. Information about declaring a Major and Minor in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and a list of advisors are available at www.mun.ca/hss/programs/undergraduate/ideclare.php.

6.1.2 Core Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts Core Requirements comprise a Breadth of Knowledge Requirement, a Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) Requirement, a Language Study (LS) Requirement, and a Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Requirement. The Core Requirements provide breadth of knowledge and exposure to methodologies that are foundational for a university education, including the development of critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills in different disciplines within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Normally, core requirement courses are offered at the 1000-level or 2000-level, and are intended to be completed early in a student’s program of study. A student is encouraged to complete the CRW, LS, and QR Requirements within the first 45 credit hours.
A student must complete all Core Requirements, subject to the following conditions:
Each eligible course may be used towards both the Core Requirements and applicable Major(s) or Minor requirements.
A student who is concurrently completing the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) degree should refer to Joint Degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative).
As outlined in Limited Enrolment Courses and Transfer Credits, some Grenfell Campus courses may be eligible to fulfill the Core Requirements, and some limitations on transfer credits apply.
A student, in consultation with an academic advisor, is encouraged to follow Possible Course Sequencing for the First 45 credit hours of the Bachelor of Arts. A student interested in a Bachelor of Arts Major in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or Psychology, or in a Minor in an eligible program outside of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, should consult an advisor in the appropriate department for suggested course sequencing, in addition to consulting an advisor in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
A student in the International Bachelor of Arts (iBA) program is advised to subsequently consider Possible Course Sequencing for the iBA (first 60 credit hours)

Possible Course Sequencing for the First 45 credit hours of the Bachelor of Arts
Semester
Semester 1 (15 credit hours)	
Course #1 (3 credit hours): first course for Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) Requirement should be a 1000-level English CRW course

Course #2 (3 credit hours): first course for Language Study (LS) Requirement

Course #3 (3 credit hours): first course for Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Requirement. Eligible Quantitative Reasoning courses offered at the 3000-level are normally completed after the first 45 credit hours.

Courses #4-5 (6 credit hours): choose 1000-level courses as electives. Breadth is encouraged. Consider choosing courses in a possible Major and Minor. Programs without 1000-level courses offer 2000-level courses that are ordinarily completed in the first year of study.
