What it is	You study both English literature and business together, learning to analyze texts and ideas while also building skills in management, accounting, and organizational thinking. Unlike a straight English or Business degree, this combined program lets you apply critical reading and writing to real business problems and understand how language shapes commerce and culture. It suits students who want to keep options open across both humanities and commerce, or who see writing and communication as central to business work.	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.
