What it isA four-year Bachelor of Arts in English is a program where you study literature, writing, and language through close reading of texts from different periods, cultures, and genres. You'll analyze how stories, poems, and essays work and what they mean, rather than learning creative writing as your main focus. This suits people who enjoy thinking critically about books and ideas, and who want depth in a humanities subject.Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.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.
