Arts and Science

Broaden your horizons

You’re interested in studying the human brain; both philosophically and biologically. You’re curious about the causes of the World Wars but also how gun powder works. You want to learn math, but also want to learn how to write.

Having skills in both the arts and sciences will open up countless doors!

Life as a student in the arts and sciences

As a student in the arts and science degree program, you will develop the critical skills that are necessary to engage in innovative thinking and support a culture of lifelong learning. This is an ideal program if you have a strong interest in one of the sciences and in one of the arts disciplines.

You can complete your bachelor of arts and bachelor of science with our concurrent degree program within five years. In addition, our “Leonardo degree” lets you combine areas as diverse as biology and theatre in a four year BA and BS degree.

Diversify your career options

Deciding to complete a dual-degree program will significantly enhance your future career opportunities. The value of a broad education is widely acknowledged by educators and business professionals, and by the many capable students who apply to the arts and science Program. This flexible and valuable program makes it an excellent pre-professional program to prepare for studies in dentistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry and physiotherapy. It also prepares you well for law school.

Science and Computer Science

Best of both worlds

You want to work in a science field but also want to learn how computer systems work. Or perhaps you want to learn how to program specific software that is used in chemistry labs.

Here at UNB, you can pursue a science major and a complete computer science education concurrently. You have the choice of completing a regular BScCS or choosing a specialization within the program. Our concurrent degree program allows you to complete your Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Science in five years.

Get a career edge

Most scientific careers now require a thorough background in computing and many careers in the computing field require primary knowledge in a scientific application area.  With both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Computer Science, you will have the skills needed to prosper in the competitive workforce of today!
