Double Degrees

Double degree programs allow you to complete 2 honours degrees, from two faculties, in 5 years or less. All students in double degrees are guaranteed a spot in our Co-op Option. Through co-op, you will gain 12-16 months of practical work experience in the largest Business co-op program in Canada.
Applying to a Double Degree Program
Each double degree program offered at Laurier has a unique OUAC program code; so you only need to apply once! When you decide which double degree program is the best fit for you, apply using the appropriate code through OUAC and we will take care of the rest.
If you do not meet the requirements for the double degree program, you will be automatically considered for an alternate offer to Honours Business Administration or the corresponding program in the Faculty of Science at Laurier.
Double degrees at Laurier & University of Waterloo
Students applying to one of the joint double degrees with the University of Waterloo, still only need to apply once. You will be accepted into both universities if you meet the requirements for both programs. If you choose to apply to Laurier and accept Laurier's offer of admission, you will live at Laurier and go through Laurier's co-op program. Student alternate between taking courses at both universities each week and will receive a student card from both universities for convenience.
