Welcome to the Faculty of Arts

Obtaining your university degree is one of the most important milestones in your life. What you study will influence how you live your life and impact your career.

In today's society where our lives and careers are being transformed at a record pace, we encourage you to think big and choose the Arts.

Pursuing an Arts degree, or ensuring your chosen degree has a strong Arts component, can help you make informed decisions about critical issues that can affect you - issues like politics, poverty, women’s rights, international development, ethics and morality.

Courses in the social sciences and humanities also develop your leadership skills by helping you to stay curious, challenge the status quo and learn to think outside the box.  It’s no surprise that many of the leaders in our province, like Mayor Michael Fougere, Madam Justice Georgina R. Jackson, former Premier Brad Wall, and former Wascana MP Ralph Goodale all have Arts degrees.

As an Arts student you will be able to spend your time studying a subject that is interesting and meaningful to you, all the while gaining valuable skills that will serve you throughout your personal and professional lifetime.
