Aviva: From an historical perspective, your question begs another question. What is a three-year B.A.? Historically, isn't the 4-yr. B.A. rooted in the concept of Grade 13 plus 3 years? Under a former system, in 1965 I graduated from the U. of A. with a three-year B.A. after Grade 12. At that time, B.C. had Grade 13 plus three years. Today B.C. has Grade 12 plus 4 years for a B.A. Being just as provincially narrow as you are, I'm interested in how many years Ontario's Grade 12 students need to get a B.A. What's the situation in other provinces--anyone?
