Bachelor of Arts

Whether you're applying to university, preparing to graduate, or somewhere in between, we're here to help you navigate your education.

A Waterloo Arts education challenges you to become a free thinker and life-long learner. The courses you take will have you arguing your point, organizing and summarizing your ideas, as well as learning and developing new concepts and applying new theories. You’ll be able to tackle today’s tough questions and examine the world around you in a whole new way.

 

You'll have opportunities to volunteer, meet new people through student organizations, and take your studies overseas for international exchange. Your path is up to you and the choices you make will help shape your life at university, and ultimately, your career.

 

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree is awarded by the University of Waterloo upon successful completion of all program-level (BA degree) and plan-level (major) requirements.
