What it is	You study the past through written records, archaeology, and analysis of how societies developed over time. History at Lakehead includes options in Classical Studies, letting you focus on ancient Greece and Rome if that interests you. This program suits people curious about why the world works the way it does and comfortable writing essays and working with primary sources.	A Bachelor of Arts is a three- or four-year undergraduate degree where you study subjects in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences — at Laurier Brantford, that means choices like English, anthropology, computer science, creative writing, or environmental studies. You can focus on one major or combine two. This program suits students who want broad knowledge across disciplines and enjoy writing, analysis, and critical thinking rather than hands-on lab or professional training.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.	You study arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields.
