Program Overview

This unique, elite program lets you start your undergraduate BA with a conditional offer of admission to a strategically paired Master’s program at Laurier already in hand. Benefit from mentoring throughout your undergraduate career to gain the experience and background needed to succeed at your graduate studies. Graduate from the BA and MA with leadership and professional skills through development workshops offered across the university, including Laurier’s nationally-acclaimed ASPIRE program.

 

What is a Arts Degree (BA) and Master's Degree Program?

If you're successful in your application to the Arts Degree (BA) and Master's Degree program, you'll receive two conditional offers of admission:

  • One to undergraduate studies (BA) in English, Global Studies, History, Languages & Literatures, Political Science or Religion & Culture; and
  • One to graduate studies (Master's) in the same field as your undergraduate program.

This means that if you decide to continue your studies at the graduate level, you don’t need to apply to the master's program at Laurier because you’ve already received a conditional offer of admission. You will begin your master's program after you graduate from your BA degree program.

 

Benefits of the Arts Degree (BA) and Master's Degree Program

Students accepted into the Arts Degree (BA) and Master's Degree program receive mentoring and skills development opportunities throughout their undergraduate degree that will help them achieve the admission requirements for the graduate program and help turn the conditional offer into an acceptance.
