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. 

Law touches virtually every aspect of society. That makes a degree in Legal Studies great preparation for a career in government, business, the non-profit sector, law enforcement, and (of course!) law itself.

At the University of Waterloo, students will enjoy small classes led by highly respected researchers, giving them lots of opportunity for discussion, and students will also have the opportunity to gain work experience through co-op.

Students will explore the impact of law on society, the origins of legal systems, how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms creates change, and issues such as crime, deviance, punishment, and restorative justice.

Students will graduate with skills in research, problem solving, critical thinking, and communication, along with an in-depth understanding of law and legal systems.
