This statement clarifies the regulations of the Faculty of Arts.
The purpose of this is to prevent students from taking all of
their last 60 hours in their major field, thus leading to over-
concentration. Students will be able to (1) develop further
their
interest
in
other fields and/or (2) develop some knowledge
of
the subject matter covered by other fields.
