| What it is | You study how to read, analyze, and write about literature and media texts — novels, films, journalism, and digital content. This program combines the close reading skills of traditional English literature with practical training in writing and media production, so you're not just studying texts but learning to create them yourself. It suits people who want to explore how stories and ideas work across different forms and may want careers in publishing, communications, or creative fields. | You study how media works, how messages spread, and how communication shapes society and politics. This program combines theory with hands-on practice, and includes a mandatory work term where you apply classroom learning in real media or communications settings. It suits people interested in journalism, public relations, social media strategy, or understanding how news and information influence the world around them. | A BA Honours at Guelph lets you specialize in one of nine humanities and social science subjects — from English to Economics to Fine Art — while completing a standard four-year degree. The co-op option integrates paid work terms into your studies, letting you gain professional experience in your field alongside classroom learning. This suits students who want depth in a particular subject and prefer learning through both study and real-world application. | 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. |
