With more than 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the Faculty of Arts is the largest and most diverse faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University. The university's 19 departments and interdisciplinary programming span a number of fields in the social sciences and humanities.
Students can create a personalized academic journey that fits their passions. They can concentrate on a single field of study or combine two. Students can add a minor area of specialization or one of the many program options. They can apply for a co-op or an international volunteer placement, and consider studying abroad for a term.
Students can experience the world through Arts. Arts courses provide opportunities for them to develop important workplace skills, whether they are working towards a career in business, education or the non-profit sector. Students will learn to challenge assumptions, communicate effectively, think critically and work cooperatively. Most importantly, they will be able to put ideas and issues into local, global and historical perspectives.
