Curriculum
Laurier Brantford's curriculum is built around Contemporary Studies, an innovative program designed to educate students for a world in which change is the only constant. Most arts degrees emphasize the study of a particular discipline; in contrast, Contemporary Studies promotes a broader understanding of contemporary issues and more broadly applicable cultural literacy, creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills.
In addition to the core program, Laurier Brantford offers Honours programs in Criminology, Health Administration, Health Studies, Journalism, Law and Society, Leadership; combination Honours degrees in English, History, Human Rights and Human Diversity and Psychology; a concurrent education program with Nipissing University; a selection of Arts programs; and College/University programming.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
