Bachelor of Arts - Honours Arts and Business - Psychology

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 explore the frontiers of the mind. They will examine human behaviour from a variety of perspectives, including neuroscience, cognition, clinical, developmental, industrial/organizational, and social psychology.

Students will deepen their understanding with complementary courses in other subject areas, such as legal studies, sociology, biology, and health studies.

Students who want to customize their program even further they can work with one of the University of Waterloo’s award-winning professors to design a directed studies course around their specific interest. Or get some work experience by enrolling in the co-op stream.
