The Centre for Liberal Arts offers an opportunity for learning and discovery across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Students are encouraged to make connections between fields of learning and expression ranging from the natural and social sciences and the humanities, including religious and literary studies, and the fine and performing arts.

The program fosters a diverse intellectual community committed to well-grounded, passionate, independent thought and creative expression in the tradition of integrated, liberal arts education. Toward this end, students and faculty work together "to ask new questions of old sources" (Catherine Hall). By "old sources" we mean the great works of human reason and imagination. We examine these sources to better understand - and challenge - our own complex world by uncovering the often hidden assumptions that have shaped it. The program seeks to develop the skills of inquiry, analysis, and argument needed for a rigorous treatment of these questions.

The program strives to provide its students with a broad education which it believes is good preparation for any career or life path. Liberal Arts forms a strong foundation for post-graduate professional training such as law or multi-disciplinary graduate studies. Past graduates of the Liberal Arts Program have become successful businessmen and women, administrators, teachers, university educators, and lawyers.

The program's unity comes from its learning community: Students and faculty share ideas and experiences over several years with a group of like-minded peers.

Liberal Arts must be combined with a major in another discipline or taken as a minor. Students combining Liberal Arts with a major concentration in Mathematics or Science will usually be exempted from the Science context requirement.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Students in the Centre for Liberal Arts are required to complete one credit in a language other than English. Students completing the program to earn the Bachelor of Science degree are not required to do so but it is strongly recommended. Where half credit courses are used to satisfy this requirement, both half credits must be in the same language. Greek or Latin recommended.

Program Notes
  1. POLI 4F99 may be substituted for LART 4P99 if the topic selected for the Political Science Honours thesis is approved by the Director of Liberal Arts.
  2. In planning their programs students should note that not all LART courses are available every year.
  3. These two credits must include one credit numbered 3(alpha)90 or above from ACTG, ENTR, FNCE, ITIS, MKTG, OBHR, OPER; MGMT 3P98.

  6. In 20 credit degree programs a maximum of eight credits may be numbered 1(alpha)00 to 1(alpha)99; at least three credits must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above; at least three credits must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above; and the remaining credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above.
