Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today.

The disciplines housed in the Bachelor of Arts degree share a common interest in viewing and appreciating the world afresh, developing the analytical and communicative abilities to enrich life and your community.

Construct your Bachelor of Arts degree by selecting majors and minors some that will be familiar (such as english, history, politics) and some that may be less familiar (such as international relations, sociology and environmental humanities).

Completing a major (or two) as part of your Bachelor of Arts degree will give you a set of skills that relate to the discipline you are studying (gaining expertise in history, for example) and versatile skills in critical thinking, analysis, cultural intelligence, and conceptual frameworks. Because you can do more than one major, it is a good idea to choose widely in your first year, before settling on a major or majors in your second year.

Students must select one major and a second major or a minor, from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
