Welcome to the Faculty of Arts, a dynamic community of students, faculty and staff working in and across the humanities, social sciences, and fine, performing and media arts.
Through diverse research, teaching, and learning, we effect social impact in a culturally complex and technologically driven world. Aligned with the University of Waterloo’s strengths in work-integrated learning, Arts prepares students for life and for work with skills and values that emphasize the welfare of individuals, communities, and the environments in which we live.

Happy 65th to Arts!
Once upon a time, the sugar cube looked more like a layer cake, there was plenty of parking and green space on campus, and Waterloo didn't have a website let alone all the digital systems we use today.
