With so many options, it can be hard to figure out what to look at first. There are a few courses
required of all arts students, as well as the BAA, BASC, BA/BSc and BA/BCS degrees.

Arts 1000: Development of Western Thought

Arts 1000 is a full-year mandatory class for all students in the Arts faculty at UNB Fredericton. Arts 1000 is also called The Development of Western Thought. This course explores the significant concepts that have shaped the development of Western civilization from the time of Ancient Greece to the present day.

There are two 50-minute lectures (one on Tuesdays and one of Thursday; both running from 11:30am until 12:20pm). There is also a mandatory, 50-minute tutorial.

Four More Courses

You need to pick four more courses per term. The first term of the academic year is called the Fall term (FA/2012), and the second is called the Winter term (WI/2013). You must choose from the list of acceptable courses in the Fall and Winter Course Timetable.
