Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Arts - General over four or five years, delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, following a holistic, interdisciplinary, inquiry-driven approach. Coursework develops effective communication, analytical, creative-thinking and critical self-reflection skills intended to help students adapt within a changing employment environment, with emphasis on civic engagement and interpersonal skills alongside academic knowledge. Optional specializations include Science, Technology and Society, which examines how scientific and technological change shapes social, cultural, political and ethical systems, and Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which covers leadership, creative problem-solving and community engagement applied to social, economic and environmental challenges. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms throughout the degree. It suits students seeking a flexible, multidisciplinary arts degree as preparation for varied careers or further study, rather than a single-discipline major.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M courses, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September and January.
