The Bachelor of Arts (Honors) program at the Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta, is an advanced undergraduate degree that provides outstanding students a research-intensive and specialized learning experience within a selected discipline. Compared to the regular BA, the Honors program involves more extensive study in a chosen subject, higher academic standards, options for undergraduate research or thesis projects, and competitive preparation for graduate studies or specialized professional careers. Admission is competitive, with limited space in each major and departmental selection. Students begin with a Foundation Year after high school, then must apply internally to select their Honors major by the end of their first year. The program requires at least 120 units, with most majors also requiring the completion of an Honors essay or undergraduate thesis. The program supports fields such as English, History of Art and Design, Psychology, and more, as listed in the current university calendar. Students benefit from coursework, mentorship, research opportunities, and close engagement with faculty. 来源： https://calendar.ualberta.ca/content.php?catoid=56&navoid=18917
