NOTE: The 3-Year Bachelor of Arts degrees in the Global catalogue are only available to those students who have earned an “A” level certificate or the equivalent in an educational system outside of North America which provides sufficient education at the pre-college level so as to allow a student to earn a bachelor’s degree in 3 rather than 4 years. The Ontario OAC or Grade 13 diploma used to provide this level of qualification but it was phased out in 2003. If you have an Ontario Grade 13 diploma or OAC year you may be eligible to take this 3-year BA program.
