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 a bilingual country and an ever-more globalized world, knowledge of French as a second language gives students an edge in almost any field.

At the University of Waterloo, students can choose language courses that range from basic to advanced, as well as a wide variety of courses in French linguistics, literature, culture, and civilization. Students will learn from professors that include Governor General prize-winners and world experts in French.

Meanwhile, for students who are interested in gaining paid work experience through North America's largest co-op program, they can apply to Honours Arts and Business Co-op and choose French as their major at the end of first year
