University of Waterloo Faculty of Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Faculty of Arts is one of six faculties at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
It may be surprising to some that in an university founded as an engineering school, the Faculty of Arts is the biggest faculty by number of students. However, since its inception, the faculty made a name for itself. The English program is one of the best in Ontario[citation needed], and the School of Accountancy consistently achieves one of the highest employment rates in university's cooperative education program.
[edit] Departments
The faculty presently houses sixteen academic departments and the School of Accountancy.
Academic Departments: Anthropology, Classical Studies, Drama and Speech Communication, Economics, English Language and Literature, Fine Arts, French Studies, Germanic and Slavic Studies, History, Independent Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Sociology, Spanish and Latin American Studies.
The Faculty of Arts offers seven undergraduate entry programs, over thirty majors and more than 400 degree options.
