Mathematicians discover and study structures that are fascinating in themselves and that have a surprising ability to help us make sense of many facets of the world: the physical, the biological, the economic, the artistic, the psychological, and the philosophical. By designing and analyzing mathematical models, we increase our understanding of natural processes and human events.

Media and Performance Production

MAPP is a distinctive Bachelor of Arts degree specialization co-coordinated by the Department of Film & Media and the Dan School of Drama & Music. This program is ideal for students interested in the creative and production aspects of Film, Drama and Music, paying particular attention to the cross-disciplinary opportunities that are becoming increasingly important in today’s digital age. MAPP focuses on all aspects of mediatization from moving image and sound production to the intermedial integration of “media” into live arts.

Languages, Literatures and Cultures

The world can seem like a big place, but through the LLCU major, students will get a glimpse into how small and connected it really is and be able to engage with intercultural sensitivity and a palette of relevant skills. Through this program, students can learn a minimum of two languages from over 14 languages taught at Queen’s, understanding not only their linguistic structures but the cultures in which they are formed. Learning another language provides students with the ability to step inside the mind and context of that culture and to better understand their own.
