Program Description For the Bachelor of Arts and Science, students must complete two majors: an Arts major, and a Science major.
Dramatic Arts
Through our rigorous program of hands-on theatre experiences, you refine your artistic techniques and develop lifelong skills such as creativity, confidence, and discipline. Courses in theatre history and theory provide a comprehensive understanding of drama’s essential role in society.
If you are interested in drama and another subject area, a BA allows you to explore all your educational interests with more flexible degree options that allow more sciences, social sciences and humanities, while still focussing on drama.
Build your program around your diverse interests across art, humanities, sciences and social sciences. Your program allows you to focus your attention on performance and technical/design courses as you come to understand and appreciate dramatic arts from around the world and immerse yourself in the study and the conversations about culture and creativity. Compliment your studies with courses outside your area of focus to achieve the goals you have set out for your future endeavours.
Chemistry
Chemistry studies the elements that comprise all matter. Everything around us — the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, cars we drive, even our bodies — are made from these elements.
There are five main branches of chemistry:
Analytical - Focuses on the detection and measurement of chemical species used in fields like forensics. Organic - Deals with carbon compounds, which are the main components of living matter. Inorganic - Delves into all the remaining elements, most of which are found in the mineral world. Physical - Looks at the study of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter. Theoretical - Starts by exploring basic physical theories like quantum mechanics in order to provide frameworks within which all chemical phenomena can be understood. The primary focus of the program is to provide you with extensive theoretical knowledge in all five branches, in addition to enhancing your technical and practical skills with hands-on experience. Throughout the program, you will receive intensive laboratory instruction on the transformation and safe handling of chemical compounds, as well as hands-on training in advanced instrumental techniques such as elemental analysis, optical spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry.
