Western U to launch School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities

In fall 2013, Western University will welcome 25 undergraduate students to its new School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities (SASAH), a unique-to-Canada program providing what SASAH organizers call an elite liberal arts education. SASAH will provide students with interdisciplinary study options, new language skills, experiential learning, interaction with new technologies, and international travel and exchange options. Prospective students, who apply directly to SASAH, will be evaluated based on a portfolio demonstrating exemplary academic work, community engagement, and extracurricular activities. Students in the program will graduate with a double major -- one from SASAH, another from an existing program within the Faculty of Arts & Humanities. Western News
