The Bachelor of Arts program combines a relevant, current and rigorous curriculum with a strong General Education component providing students with a well-rounded education. A special emphasis is placed on developing communication and critical thinking skills ensuring students are well prepared for a variety of career options. Students in the Bachelor of Arts program have the opportunity to explore a major and choose from a variety of minors. Students specialize in Anthropology, English, History, Psychology, Sociology or Spanish and can choose to add a minor area of study from over 17 different subject areas. Four years of academic study in the Bachelor of Arts program can be combined with three optional, paid co-op work terms. Arts students must apply for admission to the Co-operative Education option and complete core academic course work in the first four semesters.
