Arts Degree Requirements

Bachelor of Arts

Concurrent Bachelor of Arts Degree
(for students in a faculty other than Arts)

University of Waterloo students pursuing programs in faculties other than Arts may wish to work concurrently toward a Bachelor of Arts. Following consultation with the Arts Academic Counsellor and the academic advisor of the "home" faculty, the student must successfully complete the following to be awarded the BA:

  1. all Program-level requirements of the Faculty of Arts. See "Bachelor of Arts".
  2. at least 7.5 academic course units (for the Three-Year General degree) or ten academic course units (for the Four-Year General or Honours degree) over and above the minimum number of courses required for the first degree in the "home" faculty.

In some instances, a Joint Honours program or a minor in an Arts discipline, where possible, may be a preferable course to follow, in which case the BA would not be granted. The Proposal for Concurrent Degree in Arts: B.A. as Second Degree form is available in the Arts Undergraduate Office.
