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. Students will have the opportunity to explore the ways society is shaped by gender. They will be an advocate for equity, justice, and positive change. They will also learn the important role gender and sex play in all aspects of life. Over the course of their degree, students will develop a deep expertise in issues of gender, diversity, equality, and social justice. New students will be joining a highly-engaged group of students who are active members of their student society, department, and university as well as the student-led Women’s Centre, The Glow Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity, and the surrounding community. Students will also have the opportunity to gain work experience through co-op.
