Academic programs

Academics

At Bishop’s University, our academic resources are organized into three faculties and schools: the Faculty of Arts and Science (which includes the divisions of the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences), the Williams School of Business, and the School of Education.

The BU academic experience

Our programs of study are designed to encourage intellectual curiosity and nurture a life-long commitment to learning.

We offer small classes that leave plenty of room for lively discussions and debates.
We foster an intimate academic environment in which faculty and students can learn together, both inside and outside the classroom.
We encourage students to build breadth and depth into their programs of study and we equip them to explore and solve complex problems.

We also recognize the value of learning outside the classroom, which is why we complement the learning that happens inside the classroom with internships, co-op programs, practica, and study abroad opportunities. We encourage our students to move their education beyond the confines of lecture halls and laboratories and into the world.

Our unique approach makes for an undergraduate experience that is second to none. It’s part of the reason why Bishop’s students consistently rate their university experience as being amongst the most satisfying and engaging in Canada.

Faculty of Arts and Science

In the Faculty of Arts and Science, we want to help open your mind to new ideas, interests and possibilities. Join us to explore fascinating fields of study and discover (or re-discover!) your passions.

School of Education

In the School of Education, we emphasize teaching as an intellectual pursuit, and as a career that includes a great deal of social responsibility. If you have ever wanted to educate and inspire others, then this is the place for you.

BU liberal education model

The benefits of a liberal education

Institutions that offer their students the benefits of a liberal education tend to produce graduates who learn purposefully and become responsible and informed citizens.

In particular, a liberal education fosters:

Intellectual flexibility;
Dedication to lifelong learning;
Personal and social responsibility.

Above all, a liberal education empowers students to live responsible, productive, and creative lives in a world that is constantly evolving.1

At Bishop’s University, we are proud to offer a liberal education that prepares our students and alumni to deal with complexity, diversity and change.2 They learn to listen well, analyze critically, communicate effectively, and engage with others to effect change and make a difference in the world.

Want to learn more?

Read: BU defines a sound and liberal education.

What kinds of students benefit the most from a liberal education?3

How can you tell if you’d be a good fit for a liberal education style of learning? You will benefit most from this style of learning if you’d like to be:

An intentional learner, who is purposeful and self-directed. You want to have clear goals and take well-thought-out and appropriate action. You also want to understand what studying, the learning process, and the use of education are worth to you.
An integrative thinker. You want to learn how to see connections in seemingly disparate information, and be able to draw from a wide range of knowledge and angles to make decisions.
A conscious achiever. You want to be able to adapt the skills learned in one situation to problems encountered in another. You want to be able to succeed in many kinds of situations – even in circumstances where instability is your only constant.

If this sounds intriguing, then BU could be the place for you!
