FAQs Why would I choose an Honours program? Honours programs have many advantages including offering more courses in your chosen field, as well as preparing you for graduate studies, professional programs and employment. When do I have to declare a major? You will need to choose a major by the end of your first year. Course registration is much easier for students who have declared a major so even if you are not 100 per cent certain, it is best to choose a major upfront and change it later if you need to. Students deciding to major in Criminology at the end of their first year must also declare a concentration in law, psychology or sociology at the same time. Where can I go for academic advice?
