Program Overview

Chart your own path.

Are you a self-motivated and intellectually mature second-year student? Want to pursue studies that meet your interests and skill set? Individualized Studies lets you create your own area of specialization. You’ll draw from the University’s various academic disciplines and Faculties to produce a study plan that works for you. 

To enter the Individualized Studies program in your second year, you will be asked to prepare a statement describing your desired subject. You will also be required to identify the courses, from the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies and elsewhere, that are relevant to your theme. You will need to have completed at least 24 credits and no more than 66 credits by the start of the academic year to be eligible.

Individualized Studies supports intellectual and academic pursuit and values creative combinations. The work requires intellectual curiosity, steadiness and initiative.

What you’ll learn

  • Choose from a nearly limitless list of disciplines, fields of study and Faculties when building your major.
  • Learn to work independently and gain insight into a combination of topics relevant to you.
  • Gain credentials and experiences to help you develop a unique career that addresses real-world issues or that's off the beaten track.

Hands-on experiences

  • In your final year of the program, you will complete a major project as part of a six-credit thesis course. You will work with closely your chosen supervisor. The thesis project is primarily written but may include multi-media, film, dance, painting and other forms of creative expression. 
  • The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies provide extensive opportunities for work placements, co-ops and community engagement. 
  • Study abroad opportunities are also a great way to enhance a degree in Individualized Studies.
