Arts and Science Online CONTINUING AND DISTANCE STUDIES

Get to know ARTS AND SCIENCE ONLINE Whether you’re embarking on a degree, enhancing your credentials to advance in your workplace, taking courses to transfer to your degree at another institution, or simply taking courses out of interest, Queen’s Arts and Science Online can help. Our flexible approach lets you take courses or complete a degree while balancing work and family life.

Online courses are also a great choice if you’re an on-campus Queen’s student. Consider taking one to resolve a scheduling conflict, or to catch up or even get ahead over the summer. Our courses have the same rigour, depth and quality as those taken on campus and are offered during the same academic terms.

Choose from more than 100 credit courses in the Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences. Learn about human behaviour, the intersection between the digital world and society, or gain perspectives on the past. If Sciences are your passion you’ll be inspired by our new courses in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Or, open the door for future studies through our basic medical science courses.

We also know that you may be looking to complete programs and not just courses, which is why our list of degree options is expanding. We now offer five fully online degree programs: Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology, English, History, Global Development Studies, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Life Sciences.

“Going to school full-time and in-person just wasn’t practical for me. It was important to me to complete my degree – as a testament to my belief in education, to further my career, and as an example I wanted to set for my kids. I was attracted to the Queen’s program for several reasons. The most important was reputation – Queen’s is well-respected, both among students and employers.”

- Kevin Vennesland, Vancouver BC

Online CLASSROOM Queen’s online courses are truly interactive and collaborative. Your course will run through Moodle, an online learning portal. Our course materials incorporate multi-media features like videos and podcasts, as well as interactive components like problem sets and self-assessment quizzes to help you direct your own learning. You’ll have the opportunity to interact with peers from across the world through online group work, study projects, debates and even online presentations. Then, you’ll write your exam in one of over 100 approved exam centres around the world.
