Known for it's small class sizes and tons of student/professor interaction, the conversations and communication that abounds is really something.

You will develop critical thinking and communication skills, and you will have opportunities to explore issues that are vital to our provincial, national and global communities.The General B.A. program provides a broad liberal arts education by combining a concentration in at least one discipline or thematic area with requirements that ensure a broad selection of courses. The Major programs (currently available in Economics, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Psychology and Sociology) allow students to focus specifically on courses in one area of study. All students in the B.A. program are exposed to a second language and to the process of scientific and formal reasoning. Within each program of study, however, there are a number of possible degree options. Thus, students have a good deal of freedom to design a B.A. program that suits their own individual needs.

Here are some credits and programs available from the faculty of arts at TRU:

  • History
  • Modern Languages
  • English
  • Philosophy
  • Anthropology
  • Economics
  • Geography
  • Political Studies
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Fine Arts
  • Theatre
  • Music
  • Biology
  • Geology



Fanshawe College is a student friendly destination which helps students both realize and prepare them for further post-secondary studies, whether this be on a college level or university. What is interesting about Fanshawe is that within Liberal Arts lies the tools in which we learn to be self-motivating, excellent workers and communicators. At Fanshawe, through a program called Liberal Studies, students can achieve just that. Plus, the options in the faculty of arts are separated into five main streams depending on your background and interests, Liberal Studies being one of the streams.

Students select the Liberal Studies Major as it is a challenging course of study designed to develop essential skills (reading, researching, writing and analysis) necessary for success in university humanities and social science programs. This Major allows the students to prepare for career programs and earn transfer credits to other post-secondary programs. If selecting this major, you should have a relatively strong secondary school background, a 'B' (U, U/C, or OAC) or better in English, and the intention to continue your post-secondary studies in a university setting.

Fanshawe's Liberal Arts offering then can be found within the following 4 threads:
  • Corporate Communication and Public Relations
  • General Arts and Science (International Students)
  • General Arts and Science (One Year)
  • General Arts and Science (One Year, English Language Studies)
