What it isYou study a broad mix of human culture, history, and society through disciplines like anthropology, literature, drama, area studies, and food studies. Unlike a specialized honours program, this option lets you combine subjects freely and explore different fields before deciding on a focus. It suits students curious about people, ideas, and culture who want flexibility and the chance to gain work experience through co-op placements.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.A BA General with an Area of Concentration lets you study one subject in depth — say English Studies or Economics — while taking electives across other humanities and social sciences. Unlike a specialized honours program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple fields without committing fully to a single discipline. It suits students who have a clear interest in one area but want room to discover related subjects and keep career options open.
