Do you have a study path in mind but can’t see it on York’s list?

Are you convinced that York is the right place for you but don’t see your “dream” program? If you have a desire to create your own path and search for answers in places where few have looked before, then you should explore Individualized Studies programs.

Not sure what program? No problem!

Most Faculties will admit students as "undecided" or "undeclared" majors for their first year of study. An undecided/undeclared major lets you discover your interests and strengths by taking courses from a variety of disciplines. No matter what course of study you select, York offers you the most flexibility to mix and match your programs.

Five important terms to know

• Major: your area of primary study. For instance, you could be pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in History, Anthropology or English etc. A major requires the completion of approximately seven courses in one subject area.
• Double major: lets you concentrate your studies in two main areas. This flexibility gives you the chance to combine two related or unrelated areas of interest.
• Minor: an area of secondary concentration. A minor is a collection of five courses completed in an area other than your major.
• Degree: the designation you earn after completing your university studies. They are commonly referred to as Bachelor’s (BA, iBA, BSc, BES, BAS, iBSc, BFA etc.), Master’s (MA, MBA, MSc etc.) or Doctorate (PhD) degrees.
• Semester: a specific period of academic study. At York, a year is broken into three academic semesters — September to December; January to April; and May to August.

Plotting your course

For students who desire a more structured study path, academic advisers can help to suggest courses and plans for the years ahead. Specialized programs such as Engineering or Business Administration provide students with fixed plans of study.
