What it is	An Arts degree at King's focuses on language, thought, and belief through subjects like English, French, Philosophy, and Theology. You study texts, ideas, and how people understand the world through writing, culture, and religion rather than science or professional training. This program suits students who enjoy reading, discussion, and deep thinking about meaning and expression.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
