These twenty course multidisciplinary degrees are designed to accommodate students who want to design their own degree programs with a particular focus. The multidisciplinary degrees require students to include a minor within their program for a sense of cohort and intellectual focus. Both the BA and the BSc allow for flexible design of students' unique programs.
