Bachelor of Arts - Honours Arts and Business - Religious Studies (Co-op)

Honours Arts and Business is where the things students are passionate about intersect with business. Students can pick one of 29 majors — a subject they are curious about or something they have always loved — then layer on business classes that teach them the practical skills employers look for. 

Students who would like their degree to be even more customized, they can add on a second honours major or a minor. Students can choose the regular system of study and finish in four years, or add 20 months of serious work experience to their resumes through co-op. 

In this program, students will examine how religions have influenced politics, economics, culture, art, science, and society throughout history — and continue to do so today.

Students will tailor their degree to their passions. The University of Waterloo offer more than 100 undergraduate courses covering the religions of the world, Jewish studies, Christian traditions, and religious culture and society. Thanks to strong links with the Department of Religion and Culture at neighbouring Wilfrid Laurier University, students will have access to even more learning opportunities.

Students will graduate equipped with the multicultural understanding, critical thinking skills, and historical knowledge to succeed in a variety of careers. And, for students who take the co-op stream, they will get up to two years of work experience on their resume.
