What it isA Bachelor of Arts and Sciences lets you combine study in both humanities and natural sciences within one degree. Unlike most programs that require you to choose either arts or sciences, this one lets you take courses across both — for instance, pairing creative writing with chemistry, or anthropology with animal science. It suits people who are curious across multiple disciplines and want flexibility rather than specializing narrowly from the start.Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.This program combines arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market.
