Liberal Studies gives you that freedom.Commonly called a liberal arts degree at other universities, Liberal Studies allows you to explore many different subjects in the humanities, social sciences, languages and cultures, and fine and performing arts plus courses youd like to take from some of Waterloo's other faculties.You can add focus to your degree with a minor or minors, or keep it completely general. (And if you do fall passionately in love with a subject along the way, you can switch into a major at any point.) An academic advisor can help you plan your degree and choose courses.You can also enrich your learning through Waterloo's EDGE (experiential education) certificate and Global Experience Certificate programs or by studying Liberal Studies as part of the Honours Arts and Business degree.Program highlights100 subject areas.
