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
spring 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
empathetic 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, or the Special Needs Co-ordinator, Judy Bruyn, Ext.
