Hey Aska,
On Rosi my degree is labelled as “Honors BSc. Psychology”, does the honors part mean I have to complete an undergrad thesis to get my degree? I have looked through the degree explorer and it doesn’t say anything about undergrad thesis.
Thanks

hey there,
no, that’s not what it means. it’s just one more of those weird anachronisms that infests uoft’s very walls. basically, before 1992, students had the option to pursue a three-year degree (Bachelor’s) or a four-year degree (Honours). the three-year degree got eliminated and now the only option is the “Honours” four-year degree.
the only people in the Faculty of Arts & Science who graduate without Honours are those who request to graduate regardless of having a CGPA under a 1.85 (either a B.Sc. or a B.A.), those who are finishing a 3-year degree that began before 1992 (see ‘Discontinued Degrees and Upgrading‘), and Rotman students, who graduate with a B.Comm.
Best,
aska
