ADMISSION, REGISTRATION, REGULATIONS AND FEES
Wilfrid Laurier University offers programs of study leading to
General degrees in arts and
science (BA and BSc) and music (BA Music Major). The attainment
of these degrees normally
requires three years of study, but this work may be accomplished
in two years if studies are
pursued in two regular sessions and two summer sessions. Each
student selects a major subject
and is assured of a liberal breadth of studies.

    Honours programs require four years of study and
lead to an Honours
degree (BA, BBA, BSc, BMus, or BMusTh). The candidate for an
Honours degree selects a
particular subject or combination of two subjects which is
studied in greater depth than students
who register for a General degree. The four-year program is
arranged to provide mastery of a
particular subject or subjects with a liberal education of some
depth.

    All students become acquainted with a variety of
subjects, especially in the
first year. Both plans of study provide a measure of
concentration, which is developed to a
greater extent in the Honours programs. To enable students to
pursue specialized fields in still
greater depth, the University has established the Faculty of
Graduate Studies, which includes
Masters programs in arts, business administration, social work
and theology, as well as several
doctoral programs.

    Wilfrid Laurier University attempts to limit
enrolment so that all students
may benefit from personal contact with members of the faculty.
Emphasis on good teaching and
individual attention is a tradition at Wilfrid Laurier
University.

    The University is prepared to give fair and
sympathetic consideration to
applicants with documented learning disabilities. Careful reviews
will be made on an individual
case by case basis. Guidelines on the consideration of such
applicants can be obtained by
contacting the Office of the Registrar.
