We offer a number of courses that get you out there learning from practitioners in the field. Our Community Service-Learning courses offer you a chance to work with community organizations for credit.
It's important to connect the value of what you're learning in your classes with real-world impacts, and courses that include time working with people and organizations in the community can bring classroom knowledge to life.
From archival work with the Brant Historical Society, to grant-writing for a church community, to in-depth reporting and a multimedia presentation on an local issue for a capstone seminar – you can find the right course to match your interests.
A liberal arts education gives you the freedom to dream and the capacity to contribute to communities – at home and on an international scale.
There are a variety of study-abroad opportunities at Laurier you can take advantage of to apply your learning outside the classroom. Go to Ghana on an internship at an NGO; help build a house in El Salvador; study the history of World War One while in the battlefields of France and Belgium; gain insight into the lives of migrant workers both here and in Mexico.
In addition, faculty members in the Faculty of Liberal Arts organize a number of experiences that connect directly to our programs.
