Program Description Honours Arts and Business is where the things students are passionate about intersect with business. Students can pick one of 29 majors — a subject they are curious about or something they have always loved — then layer on business classes that teach them the practical skills employers look for. Students who would like their degree to be even more customized, they can add on a second honours major or a minor. Students can choose the regular system of study and finish in four years, or add 20 months of serious work experience to their resumes through co-op. . In first year, students will cover the fundamentals of micro- and macro-economics. In upper years, they can analyze how those principles play out in a wide range of sectors, including public policy, labour economics, health economics, finance, sport, and more. Whether students are aiming to work in the public sector, the private sector, or academia, their Economics degree from the University of Waterloo will give them the skills and knowledge they need, along with co-op experience to back them up.
