Scholar's Electives

 

SCHOLAR’S ELECTIVES PROGRAM - by application (Limited Enrolment)

The Scholar’s Electives program allows students who have demonstrated outstanding academic potential to apply to Western for admission to both a primary, discipline-based program of study and the Scholar’s Electives module. The program is designed to provide an intellectually stimulating learning environment for students who truly wish to undertake an interdisciplinary experience. Its goals are to foster a community of scholars who have diverse disciplinary and research interests, but a general intellectual curiosity about most disciplines. The program is intended primarily to students who are interested in completing a four-year Honors degree before moving on to their chosen careers.
