Bachelor of Arts - Honours Arts and Business - History

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.

Today, the past is more relevant than ever. At the University of Waterloo, students will explore history to make sense of the present.

The University of Waterloo’s small classes create lots of opportunity for animated discussions, while the co-op option offers relevant work experience before students graduate.

In a student’s upper years, an impressively wide range of courses lets students focus on the events, themes, or historical time periods that intrigue them most. Students will delve deep with four possible specializations, or broaden their education with courses from other disciplines.

Whichever way students shape their degree, they will develop an invaluable set of skills — technical, creative, critical, and analytical — that will serve them well in almost any career.
