BA (HONORS SPECIALIZATION IN MUSIC) / HBA
The combined degree programs are administered on behalf of the Richard Ivey School of Business and the Don Wright Faculty of Music.

The combined program is a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts with Honors Specialization in Music and a Bachelor of Arts in Honors Business Administration (HBA). In Years 1 and 2, students are registered in the BA (Honors Specialization in Music) in the Don Wright Faculty of Music and follow the normal curriculum for this degree. In Year 3, students are registered in the HBA program. Students are registered in the combined program in Years 4 and 5.

Admission Requirements
Students must meet normal admission requirements for both programs. Normally, students apply to the HBA program during their second year in the Bachelor of Arts (Honors Specialization Music). Students applying to the Ivey Business School's Academic Excellence Opportunity (AEO) are also eligible to be considered for the combined program. Admission is competitive and limited.

To be eligible for consideration for admission to the combined program, in the first two years, students must complete all requirements for Years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Arts (Honors Specialization in Music), including Business Administration 2257. In the first two years, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 78%, a minimum mark of 70% in Business Administration 2257, and no mark less than 60%. They must also gain admission to the HBA program through the regular application process.

Program Requirements
Students registered in the combined program are expected to abide by all guidelines associated with each of the individual programs.

Progression Standards
Students in the combined program must meet the normal progression standards for both the BA (Honors Specialization in Music) and HBA programs. Students enrolled in HBA1 (Year 3) must attain a minimum weighted average of at least 78%. In Years 4 and 5, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 75% in their 4000-level HBA2 courses. They also must attain a minimum average of 70% with no grade less than 60% in the Music module, and a passing grade in each option.

Failure to Meet Progression Standards
A student who fails to meet the combined program progression standards in any year must withdraw from the combined program. However, a student who has met the progression standards of either the HBA or BA (Honors Specialization in Music) program will be allowed to proceed to the next year of that program. If the progression standards of both individual programs have been satisfied, the student may continue in either program and may petition the School or Faculty whose program was not selected for permission to complete that program at a later date. A student who is required to withdraw from the combined program and wishes to pursue either of the individual programs or both programs through a concurrent degree, must complete all the degree requirements of the individual program or concurrent programs in order to graduate from that/those program(s).

Dean's Honor List
At the Richard Ivey School of Business, students are considered for the Dean's Honor List during their first year of HBA. Students enrolled in Years 4 and 5 of the combined program are considered for the Dean's Honor List in Year 5 only. Only grades obtained in 4000-level Business courses will be used in calculating averages for the purposes of determination of Dean's Honor List standing. Courses taken outside the Business School are excluded. Calculations for Ivey Scholar and Gold Medals are completed in the same way.

In the Don Wright Faculty of Music, students are considered for the Dean's Honor List during Years 1, 2, 4 and 5, based on achieving an average of 80% or higher, with no failed courses, during that academic year.

Graduation
Upon completion of this combined program, students will receive a BA with Honors Specialization in Music and a BA in Honors Business Administration.

Graduation with Distinction
Eligibility to graduate "With Distinction" for each degree is determined by each Faculty.
