What it is	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.	This program lets you earn a Bachelor of Arts in one of ten humanities or social science subjects, then move directly into a Master of Business Administration without reapplying. The co-op component means you alternate between study and paid work terms in business settings throughout both degrees. It suits people who want deep knowledge in a humanities field but also need business skills and real workplace experience before graduation.
