U. of A. - Admission Requirement Changes for B.A.
The Bachelor of Arts general program will now accept a broader selection of high school academic subjects. The new requirements are as follows::: Grade 12 academic English (Alberta English Language Arts 30-1 or equivalent):: Four subjects from:- Group A = Humanities - Group B = Fine Arts (only one Fine Arts subject may be presented for admission)- Group C = Maths and SciencesFor a full list of the subjects included in Groups A, B, and C, please consult the Viewbook or the U of A website at http://www.registrar.ualberta.ca/ro.cfm?id=147#OutsideCanada
This change will align the U of A’s Faculty of Arts admission requirements with other major Canadian post-secondary institutions. It reflects the fact that not all students will pursue university programs that require specific high school course work and will allow strong humanities, social science, and fine arts students an opportunity to more fully focus on high school courses in their areas of interest, including the Sciences and Math when applicable. However, students are still encouraged to consider which area of the broad selection of programs they wish to pursue and build their high school program accordingly. For example, students seeking a program in Economics (Arts) or Psychology (Arts or Science), Business, or Education should still incorporate Pure Math 30 (or equivalent) into their schedules in order to ensure adequate preparation for the math-based courses that will be required as a part of their degree program.
