Whether you have chosen your major or plan to explore your options, Arts and Social Sciences at SFU Surrey has something special to offer you. It is Explorations in Arts and Social Sciences, a program designed to help you discover your strengths and potential - and make friends - in your first year of University.

Explorations is a cohort program, which means that students take core courses together, as a class. Explorations promises you friendly professors and dynamic teaching in a small-group, participatory environment of discussion and discovery.  

Explorations will provide you with a solid foundation for academic success and an exciting pathway to any degree at SFU. You will build strong skills and knowledge across a broad set of disciplines which can effectively be applied to whatever field or career you might pursue. Students have the full range of programs in Arts and Social Sciences to choose from, or they can apply to other areas such as Business, Communication, Education or Environment.

You complete your degree in the same length of time as other students.  After one year in Explorations, you can continue your studies at any SFU campus (Surrey, Burnaby  or Vancouver) and you’ll be ready – with an edge – for your second year studies.
