the 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 want 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 résumés through co-op. 

in fine arts, students will hone their mastery of technique, develop a cohesive body of work, and learn the skills needed as a professional artist. whichever path students choose, they'll enjoy an intimate community and supportive professors. in the studio practice major, students will immerse themselves in hands-on creation. the university of waterloo offers classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, media arts, and digital imaging. students can also choose one of three specializations, including one that will prepare graduates for a career in education.
