The Faculties of Arts and Science at UNB in Fredericton are co-operating to make it possible for a student to combine Arts and Science in this four-year degree program.
This Joint Program allows students
To experience academic work in both Faculties before committing themselves to a specialization;
To gain a broader and more systematic exposure to disciplines outside that specialization; and
To prepare for subsequent degree programs that permit or encourage a broader distribution of courses; such programs include the General Science Program and various preprofessional programs leading to study in dentistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, and physiotherapy.
To be admitted to the Joint Arts and Science program, students must meet the entrance requirements for the BAS as outlined in the Admission Requirements Table under Admission Regulations.
To earn a BAS degree, students must complete the requirements of a Supplementary Major in an Arts subject and a Specialization in a Science subject. The requirements for a Supplementary Major are the same as those for one subject taken as part of a Double Major.
Within Science, students can specialize in one of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics, Economics (unless already selected as an Arts program), Psychology (unless already selected as an Arts program). Within Arts, students can select a Supplementary Major in one of the following areas: Anthropology, Archaeology, Classical Studies, Classics, Drama, Economics, Economics Studies, English, French, German, German Studies, History, International Development Studies, Law in Society, Media Arts & Cultures, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, Gender and Women's Studies, Comparative Cultural Studies.
