The Faculty of Arts will contribute to a better world though positive social impact. Our research, teaching, and learning will emphasize a conviction that all peoples are worthy of respect, empathy, and socio-economic wellbeing. We will apply our resources and talents to reduce harms inflicted by people on each other, on themselves, and on the environment, while seeking to advance human ingenuity to benefit all.
Arts advances knowledge through excellence in teaching, research, and creativity across the humanities, social sciences, and creative arts. Aligned with the University’s strengths in work-integrated learning, we prepare our students for life and for work with values that emphasize the welfare of individuals, communities, and the environments in which we live.
Our values are grounded in the concept of a civil society: for each freedom we espouse there is a concomitant responsibility.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
