Overview

Bachelor of Arts

On the Saint John campus at the University of New Brunswick, there are a variety of programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts: 

Majors programs in Biology, French, Communication Studies, International Studies, Linguistics, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Statistics, and with Majors and Honours programs in Economics, English, History, Politics, Psychology and Sociology.

The BA Degree regulations are intended to ensure that the student is exposed to a diversity of academic disciplines in the first half of the degree program and to give the student a more specialized and concentrated knowledge of one or two academic disciplines in the second half of the program. 

Students are responsible for ensuring that their course of study meets the BA Degree regulations.

Cooperative Education [Co-Op] Option

The Faculty of Arts offers a 4-year Cooperative Education [Co-Op] option within the BA program. 

Consistent with the philosophy of cooperative education, the program is designed to alternate study and meaningful work terms. 

The number of positions is limited and, therefore, restricted to students with a B- (2.7) average or higher after their first year of full-time study.

Academic background and requirement

Students must complete six specific high school courses, according to their program of choice. 

UNB takes the overall average of the high school grades achieved in these six courses to calculate the student’s "minimum admission average", which is used to determine admissibility. 

For students who are taking required courses in the second semester of grade 12, and therefore don’t have access to their grades when they apply, the prerequisite course (usually grade 11) will be used to make a grade estimate for the grade 12 course required for admission to your selected program of study. 

Please note that UNB does not accept 'mid-term' grades.
