These disciplines will boost your creativity, sharpen your communication skills, improve your ability to think critically, and provide you with a wide-range of knowledge that can be applied to many industries post-graduation. 

We offer our General Arts program entirely online if you are looking for a flexible approach to your education, should time or mobility be an issue. Additionally, college graduates from General Arts & Science and Liberal Arts programs are welcome to apply for admission consideration through our College Transfer Program.

Lakehead Advantage

Our Faculty of Social Science & Humanities is small and comprehensive, creating ample opportunity to access professors and teaching assistants and benefit from the intimate and interactive learning environment. We are very invested in your success. We enjoy helping you find your passion as a student, and shape your future as a prospective graduate.

Our faculty members are very involved in research at a national and international level. As a General Arts student you will have many opportunities to participate in research on various topics, depending on your particular area of interest. These opportunities may include summer work positions and seminar and/or directed reading courses. 

We also offer the ability to do a joint BA degree with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) in Native Education at the Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior levels. This is particularly beneficial if you wish to teach in Northwestern Ontario.

The General Arts program strives to overcome the restrictions of traditional programs by allowing as much latitude as possible when choosing courses. Therefore, first year requirements are very flexible and driven by your interests. 

Out of the fifteen courses you will complete to successfully obtain your BA, no more than four may be taken outside of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies, as well as the Faculty of Education if you are pursuing a joint Native Education degree. If you wish to major after first year, these requirements will change based on your field of choice.

For more information, visit our Academic Calendar.

There are regular work and community programming opportunities during the summer and the academic year to supplement your in-class learning. We maintain close relationships with local businesses and organizations that reach out to our Faculty when they have special projects, or job positions, that are uniquely suited to our students' expertise. We recommend speaking to your professors or the Department Chair for current opportunities.

We have many student-run societies and clubs that cater to virtually any interest! These organizations are integral to our sense of community on campus. They host events, fundraisers, workshops, and competitions to bring people together and raise awareness for unique topics and issues. Visit our Student Clubs and Associations page for more information, as well as a listing of Student Centres.
