Future Students
For those equally passionate about Arts & Science
> Are you fueled by a desire to pursue multiple disciplines and an interest in learning to connect them?
> Do you excel in many areas and hesitate to leave any behind at the postsecondary level?
> The Bachelor of Arts and Science (BAS) program asks: “why choose?”
This innovative and flexible 4-year honours program is an opportunity to challenge the traditional format of a university degree and individually choose what to reap from it. The BAS structure integrates two specializations--one from the arts/social sciences and one from the sciences—and complements them with interdisciplinary courses and electives.
