Welcome to the Journalism program at Laurier Brantford!

The Honours BA Journalism program at Laurier Brantford is designed for students who seek employment as journalists in mass media, or who wish to pursue journalism as general education, and for those who wish to use studies in journalism as a preparation for other careers (in public relations, writing, web management, etc.) and/or education. Journalism at Laurier, which is also combined with contemporary studies, will emphasize its natural ties to a liberal arts education. The result is a rich educational experience that develops skills in critical thinking, awareness of contemporary issues, and important practical skills in public communication.

Journalism courses are open to all students enrolled at Laurier Brantford. Students may take courses as electives for general interest or may pursue a Minor in Journalism, or combine Journalism with another Honours Program. Students intent on a journalism career may concentrate their practical training in one or more media.  All students on campus may pursue journalism-related projects by becoming part of the Laurier Brantford Journalism Guild.
