以多伦多大学最大的文理学院为例:
Students can be very creative with their program combinations to build a uniquely personalized degree. To complete your degree in Arts & Science, you will complete 20 credits in a variety of subjects. Students typically complete five credits per year.
In Arts & Science, programs of study are offered as one or several of the following types:
Specialist: This program type is the greatest concentration on one subject area. More than half of the credits taken (10+) will be in this academic area.
Major: A major consists of around one third (6-8) of the total credits.
Minor: This is the smallest program type at just 4 credits.
Programs of study can be combined provided that students meet the program requirements. In order to graduate, students must present a minimum of one of the following combinations of programs:
· One specialist
· Two majors
· One major and two minors
