Laurier's Bachelor of Arts in Languages program is unique in Canada, offering in-depth study of both French and Spanish. Students complement their French and Spanish expertise by gaining foundational skills in a third language option (Arabic, German, or Italian). The curriculum also includes mandatory linguistics or cultural studies courses (focusing on European and Mediterranean perspectives) to provide a comprehensive education.
Students with previous language background who wish to enroll in advanced French and Spanish courses should consult the Languages and Literatures department for guidance.
