About the course

The Bachelor of Arts & Sciences program is designed for students who are motivated equally by the study of Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences, and who find challenge and satisfaction in testing the traditional boundaries of study through undergraduate level interdisciplinary work. The program meets these objectives through a unique structure that accredits students in an Arts/Social Sciences core, a Sciences core, a Subject Area core of interdisciplinary humanities and sciences courses (ASCI), and a minor in each of the Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences (see program information for choices of minors). The structure of the program ensures disciplinary rigour and breadth through completion of core requirements for a B.A.S. degree, concentration in two distinct minors, and concentration of learning in an academic cohort of B.A.S. students through the interdisciplinary ASCI courses in the B.A.S. core. This core is open only to students in the B.A.S. program.

　　If you’re as interested in the study of Social Sciences and Humanities as the Sciences, our Bachelor of Arts and Science program is made for you. It’s the ideal program if you are excited about strategic thinking and studying the intricate connections between social and scientific complexities in an ever-changing world.

　　The program takes an interdisciplinary approach, You will study both arts and sciences in equal measure, specializing in one science and one arts subject, and becoming confident in both. Your core arts and science courses will teach you to connect both disciplines, tackle complex societal issues, and succeed in any career path you choose. There are also interdisciplinary courses that specifically address a range of historical and current topics from various disciplinary perspectives.

With them, you’ll build your confidence as a speaker, writer, and researcher, and you’ll learn to integrate material across disciplines.
