What it isA four-year Bachelor of Arts in History means you study the past — events, people, societies, and how they shaped the world — through reading primary sources, analyzing interpretations, and writing essays. Unlike a shorter history diploma or certificate, this degree gives you time to specialize in particular periods or regions and develop research skills expected in graduate study or professional work. It suits people who enjoy reading, debate, and asking "why did things happen this way?"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.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.
