NEW ACADEMIC CHOICES

The University of Western Ontario is committed to ensuring that our students have the opportunity to expand intellectually through exposure to a variety of academic disciplines. New Academic Choices is a modular degree structure that provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to broaden their area(s) of study by combining modules from different Faculties and/or Departments, enhance their studies by focusing intensively on a specific discipline, and choose from even more areas of study than previously possible.
