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. This program goes far beyond basic anatomical knowledge and sexual health. Students will use different perspectives to explore relationships; communication; parenting; how media affects an individual’s understanding of gender, sex, and relationships; the impact of culture on sexual values; and more, all from a social justice perspective. Meanwhile, the program itself has a real family vibe. Students will enjoy small classes and a tight-knit community at St. Jerome’s University, one of the University of Waterloo's on-campus University Colleges. Students can choose from a slew of high-impact career paths, including teaching, counselling, social services, community engagement, and more. And students can always explore them early through the co-op stream.
