The Faculty of Arts & Science offers programming leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), or a Bachelor of Arts and Science (BSc). These degree options are tailored to students' specific areas of interest across three academic divisions, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In addition to traditional degrees, many departments offer specialized programs or participate in the delivery of multi-disciplinary programs and majors. For the Bachelor of Arts and Science, students must complete two majors: an Arts major, and a Science major. A bachelor's degree (BA) in art allows students to explore art as well as other interests; it offers flexible program options, while they focus on studio art and art history/museum studies courses. Students will build their program across art, humanities, sciences and social sciences. They will delve into studio art and art history/museum studies courses to understand and appreciate art from around the world, and immerse themselves in the study of culture and creativity. Students will also complement these studies with courses outside of their major to achieve their degree. Mathematics is the study of structure and patterns in numbers and shapes. It is an active research area, providing a language, theories and models to solve complex problems across a wide variety of scientific, industrial and economic sectors. Applied mathematicians develop models of structures in the real world, and in this way mathematics provides a language for many other physical and social sciences. In pure mathematics, the structures are more abstract, and the emphasis is on proof of ideas. Mathematics students will study both pure and applied mathematics, offering the opportunity to see real-world applications of theoretical studies. In all areas of mathematics, research is very active, with a rapid expansion over the last few decades. The Mathematics degree program offers courses in algebra, analysis, geometry, and statistics. Often students will combine mathematics with courses in physics, computer science, chemistry, economics, management, or other areas of interest. The department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a major in Mathematics for the Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc) degree program.
