Bachelor of Arts - Honours Arts and Business - Medieval Studies

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 Canada’s longest-standing Medieval Studies program, students will explore the ideas and events of Europe and the Near East from the fall of the Roman Empire to the beginning of the modern era in 1500 CE.

When students study medieval history, art, philosophy, legal systems, and politics, they were not just living in the past. This is a field that offers valuable insights into European politics, modern gender norms, the rise and fall of superpowers, the connections between Islam and Christianity, and more, and students who choose the co-op stream, they will have the opportunity to implement that into their work early.

Students will have lots of opportunity to connect with other students, thanks to small classes and the regular social and academic events organized by the Classical and Medieval Students Society.
