Undergraduate degrees
As the largest faculty in the only comprehensive university in the province, we offer our students a wide range of undergraduate degree programs in humanities and social sciences.
Bachelor of Arts (BA): Students in Arts can opt to concentrate on a single subject area, or combine areas in two or more disciplines. Students can also minor in Business Administration. See also the Bachelor of Arts degree requirements.
Bachelor of Arts and Science (BAS): The BAS is a joint degree in Arts and Science. It provides you with an in-depth scientific education, as well as an understanding of people and the analytical and critical thinking skills acquired in an Arts degree.
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science (BABSc): This five-year concurrent program allows you to complete degrees in both Arts and Science. You will earn both a BA and a Bachelor of Science (BSc).
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Computer Science (BABCS): This concurrent program allows you to earn both your BA and Bachelor of Computer Science in five years.
Bachelor of Applied Arts (BAA): This four-year program combines the reasoning, research and writing skills offered in a traditional liberal arts education with the hands-on studio arts courses offered by one of Canada's most respected fine craft schools, the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. You will complete two years at both UNB and NBCCD and have the choice of starting at either institution.
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Philosophy (BABPhil): This four-year concurrent program between the Faculty of Arts and the School of Leadership Studies provides an opportunity for students to complete any major in Arts and benefit from the learning model at School of Leadership Studies, including multiple internships.
Arts and Law: Interested in pursuing a career in law? The Arts and Law pathway allows eligible BA students to apply to UNB's Juris Doctor (JD) program after two or three years of Arts study. Students who complete the requirements for both degrees can graduate with a BA and JD. Learn more about the Arts/Law early admission category.
