Step 1: Program Requirements

Courses in Fall 2021 will be offered in-person, remotely, or online

In-person sections will have specific building, room number, and date and time listed for each section. These sections can be found under the Brantford or Waterloo campus.

Remote sections will have specific dates and times listed per section. Remote sections in Brantford will have Remote Brantford as the building and REMOTE as the room number. Remote sections in Waterloo will have Remote Waterloo as the building and REMOTE as the room number.

Online sections will be taught asynchronously and will not have a location, date, or time specified. These sections can be found under the Online Learning Campus.

All Winter 2022 courses found under the Brantford or Waterloo Campus will be held in-person.

Please refer to our Remote Learning: Student Support Hub, as well as our Golden Guide to Success in Online and Remote Learning.

Program-specific requirements can be found in MyDegree, or in the official academic calendar. For assistance with course selection, we encourage first year students to view a registration webinar, and senior students (year 2 and above) to seek academic advising.

First Year Program Requirements

Each program at Laurier has a specific curriculum, listed by faculty below. If you are unsure of which Faculty you belong to, refer to our list of programs by faculty.

Note: If there is any discrepancy between the requirements listed here and the requirements in the academic calendar, the calendar is the official version. Program requirements are subject to change so we encourage you to check back often.

Choosing Your Course Load

To earn an Honours Degree, you will need to complete 20.0 credits:

0.5 credit: Normally conducted over 1 semester
1.0 credit: Normally conducted over 2 semesters

If you are studying part-time, you can take up to 1.5 credits per term. Full-time status is given to students who take 2.0 or 2.5 credits per term.

If you select 2.5 credits in the fall term and 2.5 credits in the winter term, you can complete an Honours Degree in 4 years.

Waterloo Campus

Faculty of Arts

In your first year as a Faculty of Arts student, we encourage you to select a major and register for the mandatory courses that correspond with that major. With only a few mandatory courses, you will need to select electives to surround your mandatory courses. We recommend that students take three to four electives from programs within the Faculty of Arts. One of the best ways to choose elective courses is to explore different themed topics that interest you. Below we have listed several themes you may choose to explore, and the programs from which you should select elective courses to focus on these areas:

Exploring global issues: Anthropology, Archaeology and Heritage Studies, Geography and Environmental Studies, History, Global Studies, North American Studies, Political Science
Studying society: Anthropology, Archaeology and Heritage Studies, North American Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion and Culture, Sociology, Women and Gender Studies
Analyzing language and media: Communication Studies, English and Film Studies, Languages and Literatures, Sociology
Engaging with law and society: Philosophy, Political Science, Religion and Culture, Sociology, Women and Gender Studies
Interpreting the past: Archaeology and Heritage Studies, Ancient Studies, History, Medieval and Medievalism Studies
Expressing arts and culture: Anthropology, Communication Studies, Cultural Studies, English and Film Studies, Cultural Studies, History, Languages and Literatures, North American Studies

The 100-level courses for each program, both required and elective, are listed below. Oftentimes it is suggested that full-time students ease into their studies by taking 4 courses (2.0 credits) in the Fall term, and 5 courses (2.5 credits) in the Winter term. In doing so, students will move into a Year 2 registration standing following successful completion of the Fall and Winter terms. Though easing into a Fall term is the recommendation, students can complete a maximum of 5 courses in each term, should they choose. The elective recommendations below are based on taking 5 courses per term.

Faculty of Science

As a year 1 Faculty of Science student, you will initially register for the required courses for your specific program. The 100-level courses for each Faculty of Science program are listed below.

In order to progress from year to year in most Honours programs, you will require an overall grade point average (GPA) of 5.0 (C) and a cumulative GPA of at least 5.0 in your honours subject courses. The Health Sciences program requires a cumulative 6.0 (C+) GPA.

Students registering in PC131 must first register in a Calculus course (MA100, MA102 or MA103) before they will be able to register in PC131.

Core Sciences is an admission pathway rather than a degree-granting program. As a Core Sciences student you will select Faculty of Science courses, as well as general electives, based on your academic background and interests. Academic advising will help you prepare to transfer into a program that best suits your needs and goals at the end of your first year at Laurier.

Students interested in BA Policing can find the required courses listed under Online Campus, Faculty of Human and Social Sciences.

Options, Minors and Certificates

Minors

A minor is a secondary area of concentration in a subject that is different from your major. Minors are a great way for you to pursue other areas of interests and fully customize your degree. Most minors require 3.0 credits. The courses provided below will start you off on the right track towards completing a minor, but be sure to consult the undergraduate academic calendar for course selection in future years of your program.

Options

Similar to minors, options are a great opportunity to turn elective courses into a focused area of study. An option is an enhanced minor, normally consisting of 4.0 credits, and will require a higher GPA than a minor (usually a 6.0 or 7.0 GPA). Consult the undergraduate academic calendar for course selection in future years of your program. The courses below will provide you with a good start toward the requirements.

Finding it hard to pick just one? You can complete a minor and an option. You can also complete two minors. If you are considering pursuing multiple minors or want to complete both a minor and an option, be sure to consult with academic advising. Their advice will direct you on the path to graduation.
