Recently I cancelled my offer from the University of Waterloo's Honours Arts and Business to Honours Arts. I received an offer both times and am more content with the Honours Arts aspect instead of business aspect. My only problem is that with Honours Arts and Business I could participate in co-op earlier than Honours Arts. I know that I can get a full-time job or do something enjoyable with my spare time during the summer but I fear that I won't make as much money. The University of Waterloo's booklet said that an Arts student earns between $30,000-$60,000 during their co-op terms. I have contacted a person from the admissions office about this and she said that co-op is available to Honours Arts students in Psychology during the second year. Does anybody know if this is guaranteed? I don't know if it's better to be involved in Honours Arts or Honours Arts and Business for co-op opportunities. Can someone with a lot of knowledge about this please give me advice?

People need to stop saying the 'Honours part'.
A non-honours degree used to be a 3-year degree consisting of 15 courses which is rarely offered anymore.
Honours does not mean you have 80%+ or w.e
I think you only have to have a 1.8GPA to get your 'honours' degree after 4 years.

Lol, I guess I should correct myself. Not guaranteed but rather offered earlier.

My intentions were not to offend you. My intentions were to state the program that I was in. On the OUAC website it classifies "arts" as "Honours Arts" for this particular program. I am aware of the information that you presented in your post and already knew that Honours refers to time rather than the average.

Anyone else that's posting please provide me with an answer that is related to my question rather than an attempt to criticize my post.

And I'm sure others were also wondering what Honours really meant...
