ENGLISH<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

Literature connects us. Whether through a play by Shakespeare,<br />

poem by <strong>Newfoundland</strong> writer Al Pittman or novel by Margaret<br />

Atwood, people from different backgrounds and eras find common<br />

ground in their love <strong>of</strong> literature.<br />

Our English program gives you the tools to engage, analyze and<br />

appreciate great works both new and old, Canadian and international.<br />

IT’S CRITICAL<br />

Finding new layers <strong>of</strong> meaning. Identifying patterns. Getting inside<br />

the head <strong>of</strong> an author. Understanding how politics and psychology<br />

shape a work <strong>of</strong> literature. All <strong>of</strong> these come from thinking critically<br />

and creatively – abilities we teach you from day one.<br />

IT’S CULTURAL<br />

You’ll explore other cultures through English, and be part <strong>of</strong> one<br />

here in Corner Brook. The internationally renowned March Hare<br />

literary festival brings together a vibrant community <strong>of</strong> artists,<br />

poets and writers. And The April Rabbit is an exciting evening<br />

<strong>of</strong> local emerging talent. You can also publish in Paper Mill,<br />

the creative writing society’s journal.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll study classic writers and graphic novels, children’s literature<br />

and modern poets. You’ll sharpen your writing skills and critical<br />

faculties. You’ll pick an area <strong>of</strong> concentration in modern literature,<br />

dramatic literature, Canadian literature – or take a combination <strong>of</strong> all<br />

three. You’ll be ready to pursue careers in journalism, public relations,<br />

advertising, education and tourism promotion – and English is a<br />

favoured first degree for many careers, such as law and medicine.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

SCIENCE<br />

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE [B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Hons.)]<br />

From lush rainforest to barren tundra, the natural world is rich<br />

with complexity and beauty. It awes us when we step back, and<br />

intrigues us when we take a closer look.<br />

At <strong>Grenfell</strong> we’re surrounded by wetlands, boreal forest, river<br />

systems and Subarctic tundra, so you have frequent opportunities<br />

to move beyond the textbook and into the field.<br />

IT’S ADVENTUROUS<br />

We believe true understanding comes from equal doses <strong>of</strong> analysis and<br />

experience. That’s why we spend time out in the natural world, at places<br />

like the Bonne Bay Marine Station in Gros Morne National Park. You might<br />

even study climate change in the Arctic, or marine environments in Belize.<br />

IT’S DIVERSE<br />

Whether you specialize in biology or chemistry, you’ll find your degree will<br />

expose you to many areas <strong>of</strong> research. You might want to understand the<br />

impact <strong>of</strong> chemical pesticides or atmospheric pollutants, or focus on the<br />

ecology <strong>of</strong> organisms in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Whatever<br />

you choose, you’ll see that our multi-disciplinary program allows you to<br />

explore the science in applied and analytical contexts, priming you for<br />

success in a global industry.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll be taught by experts like Dr. Ge<strong>of</strong>f Rayner-Canham, winner <strong>of</strong><br />

the national 3M Teaching Award and National Science and Engineering<br />

Research Council <strong>of</strong> Canada Award for science promotion. And when<br />

you graduate, you could work as an environmental laboratory technologist<br />

or field scientist, or continue your studies in fields like environmental<br />

law or conservation.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

STUDIES<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

The planet needs champions. It needs passionate, informed<br />

advocates. It needs leaders who can balance the needs <strong>of</strong><br />

industries with those <strong>of</strong> conservationists and the public.<br />

In other words, it needs environmental studies students. Our<br />

program will equip you to steward the planet using a strong<br />

grounding in ethics, economics and environment.<br />

IT’S URGENT<br />

Our relationship to the planet needs to change. If we continue to use our<br />

resources as we have, we’ll soon be without them. Finding a way forward<br />

takes deep understanding and bold creativity, so we’re nurturing those<br />

talents in our students – the next policy makers, resource managers,<br />

activists, adventure tourism operators and journalists.<br />

IT’S OUTDOORS<br />

You’ll take courses in environmental perspectives and outdoor environmental<br />

pursuits. They’ll take you outdoors into the rivers, mountains and bays that<br />

make the area surrounding <strong>Grenfell</strong> so breathtaking.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll kayak, ski and go orienteering. You’ll have the chance to help out<br />

with <strong>Grenfell</strong>’s industrial-scale composter, the carbon footprint project or<br />

our community garden. And most importantly, you’ll be ready to begin a<br />

career that respects and champions our precious, fragile planet.<br />

GENERAL<br />

SCIENCE<br />

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE [B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Hons.)]<br />

What keeps the universe expanding? What are the origins <strong>of</strong><br />

life on Earth? How does bare rock become a thriving forest?<br />

If you’re the kind <strong>of</strong> person who asks big questions, our general<br />

science degree is made for you. We’re the only program in Canada<br />

that allows you to study three scientific concentrations at once, not<br />

just a major and minor.<br />

IT’S APPLICABLE<br />

The skills you develop here will serve you everywhere. Science cultivates<br />

analytical tools that help you to think critically and solve problems. So<br />

whether you’ve got a career in mind or are exploring your possibilities,<br />

you’ll find that a science degree opens doors for many future<br />

paths – from science teacher to lawyer, doctor to journalist.<br />

IT’S ABSORBING<br />

Studying science at <strong>Grenfell</strong> is exciting and multi-faceted. You’ll be<br />

dissecting frogs, gazing through our state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art telescope or<br />

tracking rare species through Gros Morne National Park.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll learn cutting-edge science. You’ll research, report and engage.<br />

You’ll choose three disciplines out <strong>of</strong> five options: biology, chemistry,<br />

earth systems, mathematics and physics. You’ll also have the option to<br />

take an honours degree and answer those deep questions with even<br />

deeper answers.<br />

www.grenfell.mun.ca/science<br />

“All the pr<strong>of</strong>essors who taught<br />

me have truly stimulated my<br />

interest to pursue further<br />

studies at a graduate level.<br />

They have challenged and<br />

guided me to discover my<br />

true potential.”<br />

HISTORICAL<br />

STUDIES<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

Why are wars fought over religion, politics and trade? What brings<br />

about key diplomatic decisions and international treaties? What was<br />

it like when European powers first encountered native peoples?<br />

History is more than books gathering dust. It’s the living, breathing<br />

story <strong>of</strong> humankind – <strong>of</strong> processes and societies, philosophies and<br />

conflicts. By understanding how things were, you’ll better understand<br />

the contemporary world.<br />

IT’S ILLUMINATING<br />

Studying history won’t just equip you with facts and figures; it’ll give<br />

you a broader perspective on why things happened the way they did.<br />

You’ll learn to tease out the dynamics that shape each event, society<br />

and era. It’s an approach that not only teaches, but illuminates.<br />

IT’S CHALLENGING<br />

Understanding the past requires deep research and constant critical<br />

engagement. Toward the end <strong>of</strong> your degree you’ll be fully equipped<br />

to tackle courses with self-directed research components, something<br />

normally reserved for honours programs.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll probe for the truth and find new perspectives. You’ll discuss the<br />

facts and debate the issues. You’ll have access to thousands <strong>of</strong> journals,<br />

books and databases through our vast library holdings, including our<br />

rare book collection. You might even be hired as a research assistant<br />

full time during the summer, or part time through the year.<br />

HUMANITIES<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

We think critically. We ask big questions and look for<br />

connections. We study ideas and challenge conventions.<br />

And when freedom is threatened, we defend it.<br />

In humanities we believe education is the key to citizenship.<br />

So whether you pursue a career in journalism, academia or<br />

government, we prepare you to do it with integrity and leadership.<br />

IT’S VERSATILE<br />

Imagine comparing Arcade Fire to Carl Jung, or Watchmen to<br />

Homer’s Iliad. And who would have thought Family Guy had<br />

anything to do with philosophy? We explore core texts from many<br />

angles, teasing out new insights and forming new perspectives.<br />

IT’S GUTSY<br />

Asking big questions. Debating tough topics. Drawing unusual<br />

parallels between thinkers and ideas. It takes guts to break<br />

convention, and humanities is all about taking risks, seeing<br />

beyond the status quo and taking an active role in society.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll develop discipline. You’ll explore the clash <strong>of</strong> values in the<br />

contemporary world. You’ll graduate with skills prized by business,<br />

government and media. In other words, you’ll be ready to think<br />

and act like a global citizen.<br />

www.grenfell.mun.ca/humanities<br />

“The beauty <strong>of</strong> the program<br />

is that you grow to know<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essors from a variety <strong>of</strong><br />

disciplines. If you’re willing to<br />

learn, there is always an open<br />

door at <strong>Grenfell</strong>.”<br />

NURSING<br />

BACHELOR OF NURSING (BN)<br />

Nurses are front line health providers. They’re administrators,<br />

researchers and educators. They give direct and preventative<br />

care. Few careers are more rewarding or challenging. From the<br />

bedside to the corners <strong>of</strong> the world, nurses are indispensable.<br />

Our partner, Western Regional School <strong>of</strong> Nursing, has been<br />

educating amazing nurses for more than 40 years, and has<br />

graduated over 1,800 competent, pr<strong>of</strong>essional nurses.<br />

IT’S WORLDWIDE<br />

There’s a high demand for skilled nurses in hospitals around the<br />

globe, in communities and universities, in clinics and remote areas.<br />

A career in nursing can take you around the world, changing<br />

people’s lives through direct care, preventative care and beyond.<br />

IT’S HANDS ON<br />

You’ll have to think critically and make decisions informed by both<br />

ethics and evidence. You’ll need sound judgment and technological<br />

competence. You’ll face new, stimulating challenges every day, and<br />

draw on all your skills to address them.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

In our program you won’t be just another face in the crowd. Our low<br />

student-instructor ratios mean you’ll have individual attention and<br />

mentorship from the moment you begin.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL NEED<br />

To enrol in nursing, you’ll need to have completed high school<br />

chemistry and biology, in addition to meeting the general university<br />

requirements. Enrolment is limited and selection competitive. Your<br />

application and supporting documents are required by March 1.<br />

www.grenfell.mun.ca/nursing<br />

From orbiting planets to flipped coins, bright stars to tiny<br />

particles, physics helps us to understand how the universe works.<br />

Our physics program is made for people who want to reach out<br />

mysteries <strong>of</strong> spacetime and the laws that explain everything we see.<br />

IT’S EYE OPENING<br />

You’ll learn to conceptualize, design and implement your own<br />

experiments. You’ll grasp existing ideas, formulate your own<br />

hypotheses and develop skills that lead to careers in research<br />

and development, computing, education and more.<br />

IT’S PERSONALIZED<br />

At <strong>Grenfell</strong> our small class sizes allow for personalized instruction.<br />

You’ll have lots <strong>of</strong> direct contact with your pr<strong>of</strong>essors, and plenty<br />

<strong>of</strong> time to ask questions, debate cutting-edge issues and explore<br />

the exciting discoveries <strong>of</strong> physics.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll be trained in digital imaging, image analysis and high-end<br />

You’ll choose courses in subatomic particle physics, astronomy<br />

and cosmology.<br />

www.grenfell.mun.ca/physics<br />

“I was blown away by the<br />

physics and astronomy courses<br />

I took as electives, not just<br />

because the material was very<br />

interesting, but because I<br />

think it was the first time I was<br />

challenged academically.”<br />

PSYCHOLOGY<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS [BA or BA(Hons.)]<br />

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE [B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Hons.)]<br />

Do primates think like we do? How much influence does<br />

the unconscious have on human behaviour? Which is more<br />

powerful, nature or nurture?<br />

People have wondered how to answer these questions for<br />

centuries. At <strong>Grenfell</strong>, we delve into our complex psyches<br />

to uncover the patterns and realities that make us tick.<br />

IT’S UNEXPECTED<br />

In psychology we research some <strong>of</strong> the most unusual phenomena<br />

in the world, from the structure and function <strong>of</strong> the brain to the<br />

mysteries <strong>of</strong> abnormal personalities. We even take a look at lost,<br />

recovered and false memories. It’s a journey filled with surprising<br />

twists and turns, ending with answers that <strong>of</strong>ten run counter to<br />

intuition and experience.<br />

IT’S APPLICABLE<br />

Psychology builds a skillset that will serve you wherever you go in<br />

life. High-level conceptual thinking, rigorous problem-solving and<br />

strong analytical capabilities are just some <strong>of</strong> the talents you’ll<br />

develop by studying psychology at <strong>Grenfell</strong>.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

Pursuing psychology at <strong>Grenfell</strong> is excellent preparation for<br />

graduate studies at the master and doctoral levels, or for<br />

studies that lead to careers in social work, health care and<br />

speech therapy. And while you’re here you could get involved in<br />

the Psychology Society, which hosts psychology-themed events<br />

and holds graduation festivities.<br />

SOCIAL/CULTURAL<br />

STUDIES<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

It’s invisible and everywhere. It shapes us while we shape it.<br />

It’s stitched into an embroidered garment and woven through<br />

a crowded indie rock show. We’re talking about culture, one <strong>of</strong><br />

the great shapers <strong>of</strong> meaning in human life.<br />

At <strong>Grenfell</strong> we use anthropology, folklore and sociology to answer the<br />

questions <strong>of</strong> why we do what we do, both as individuals and societies.<br />

IT’S FASCINATING<br />

Social/cultural studies encompasses a vast set <strong>of</strong> approaches,<br />

methods and academic perspectives. This variety makes studying<br />

something as simple as a Grecian urn a revealing experience.<br />

human resources, law and social work.<br />

through many research concentrations, including Aboriginal identity,<br />

women’s issues, rural development and the interrelationship <strong>of</strong><br />

power and knowledge. So when you find a particular area <strong>of</strong><br />

interest, we’re here to take you deeper.<br />

RESOURCE<br />

MANAGEMENT<br />

demands on resources are increasing year after year. We need<br />

wise leaders to steward our precious planet into the future.<br />

Our program equips you to be a pioneer in the field <strong>of</strong> resource<br />

management – using our resources to meet human needs, now and<br />

in the future, while also respecting the needs <strong>of</strong> the environment.<br />

IT’S UNIQUE<br />

Sustainable resource management brings together natural resource<br />

science, economics, policy development and ethics. This unique<br />

combination prepares you for an engaging and relevant career in<br />

such areas as public service, private industry, policy development<br />

and environmental science.<br />

IT’S VARIED<br />

Your course load will span everything from oil and gas studies<br />

to biodiversity, so you’ll be capable <strong>of</strong> thinking about resource<br />

management from many different perspectives. And <strong>Grenfell</strong> is<br />

located in an ideal place to study resource management. The<br />

surrounding area is rich with minerals, thick with forest, and<br />

dotted with several national parks and ecological reserves.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

THEATRE<br />

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS (BFA)<br />

Months <strong>of</strong> rehearsal and set building. Months <strong>of</strong> working<br />

scenes and memorizing lines. Months <strong>of</strong> calming nerves and<br />

preparation. Then the house lights go down, the crowd perks<br />

up and the show begins.<br />

Theatre turns hard work into bold, powerful expression. Our<br />

well-rounded program is building the next generation <strong>of</strong> theatre<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals: the people who bring the stage to life with acting<br />

chops and evocative stagecraft.<br />

IT’S COURAGEOUS<br />

“Our production classes<br />

operated like a pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

theatre, and when I graduated,<br />

I felt more than equipped to<br />

compete for employment<br />

with actors across Canada.”<br />

Rick Simm, BFA<br />

Taking a script from page to stage involves more than memorizing lines or<br />

sewing a convincing costume. It takes a team <strong>of</strong> committed, courageous people<br />

to step out <strong>of</strong> their comfort zones and breathe life into the characters and sets.<br />

IT’S TECHNICAL<br />

Mastery in acting or stagecraft takes commitment, practice and experienced<br />

instruction. Our faculty and staff will walk alongside you for the whole<br />

program, pushing your boundaries, honing your craft, and preparing<br />

you for full-scale productions.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

Graduates from our program have been on Gemini-nominated TV shows,<br />

worked at Cirque du Soleil, performed at Stratford and been members<br />

<strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional theatre companies locally, nationally and abroad. You’ll see<br />

audiences’ faces light up through the power <strong>of</strong> a well-timed line or crucial set<br />

change. You’ll even spend part <strong>of</strong> a semester in Harlow, England, studying<br />

under British theatre pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and taking in some <strong>of</strong> the best theatre<br />

that London has to <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL NEED<br />

Enrolment in the theatre program is limited and the selection is competitive.<br />

Submit your theatre application by March 31, in addition to your general<br />

university admissions application. Depending on your specialization, you’ll<br />

be required to audition (for acting) or have an interview (for stagecraft).<br />

TOURISM<br />

STUDIES<br />

BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA)<br />

<strong>Grenfell</strong>’s tourism studies program develops well-rounded<br />

industry leaders, people who champion sustainable tourism<br />

using their smarts in business, economics, environment and<br />

VISUAL ARTS<br />

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS (BFA)<br />

Making art is about finding your voice. It’s about<br />

reacting to the world, to its joys and challenges,<br />

by making things – paintings, sculptures, prints and<br />

videos. It’s about conversation, debate and insight.<br />

At <strong>Grenfell</strong> we’re surrounded by inspiring landscapes<br />

and brilliant artists, so whatever your medium, we<br />

provide a place for you to explore, develop and blossom.<br />

IT’S BALANCED<br />

Our program has launched many successful careers in art and art history by<br />

balancing the fundamentals <strong>of</strong> making art with the ideas and emotions that give<br />

it power. And you’ll have a wealth <strong>of</strong> faculty, staff and visiting artists to mentor<br />

you on your journey.<br />

IT’S ACTIVE<br />

From year one you’ll be making art, learning its history, and cultivating your own<br />

perspectives. By year four you’ll be ready to develop your own independent body<br />

<strong>of</strong> work, and discuss your work one-on-one with your faculty adviser, auxiliary advisers<br />

and visiting artists. Throughout your time here you’ll take courses in drawing,<br />

painting, sculpture, digital imaging, art history, printmaking and photography.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll learn from faculty who are practicing artists and pursuing active scholarly<br />

projects. You’ll show your work in the <strong>Grenfell</strong> Art Gallery, a regular venue for<br />

national and international shows. You could also spend nine weeks on an art<br />

history study tour at <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s campus in Harlow, England. While<br />

you’re there you’ll make industry contacts, take frequent trips to London<br />

and visit cultural sites like Stonehenge.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL NEED<br />

Submissions should reflect involvement, curiosity and passion for the visual arts. We<br />

look for hardworking and creative people who take pride in their work. Enrolment is<br />

limited and selection competitive, so your application must be submitted by March 1<br />

(in addition to your general university admissions application).<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

POLICY<br />

MASTER OF ARTS (MA)<br />

Changing the world takes more than just a vision for<br />

the future. It takes a rich knowledge <strong>of</strong> how things work<br />

today – in institutions, governments and around the world.<br />

Our master’s program prepares you to be a bridge that<br />

connects problems with solutions, people with purposes<br />

and our present with the future.<br />

IT’S UNIFYING<br />

Our program brings together <strong>Grenfell</strong>’s strengths in environmental studies,<br />

these diverse fields <strong>of</strong> study, we’re training policy leaders to make a difference<br />

provincially, nationally and all over the world.<br />

IT’S RIGOROUS<br />

Designing an environmentally healthy future requires sound thinking in fields as<br />

diverse as public policy, political science, geography, economics, biology and<br />

forestry. Our expert faculty, excellent library resources and hands-on orientation<br />

will deepen your understanding <strong>of</strong> the issues and broaden your set <strong>of</strong> tools.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL GET<br />

You’ll get to choose between a thesis-based program, which takes two years,<br />

and a research paper-based program, which takes one. Both options will<br />

place you in an internship that exposes you to the challenges <strong>of</strong> real-world<br />

practitioners in a government <strong>of</strong>fice, non-governmental organization,<br />

community organization or business.<br />

WHAT YOU’LL NEED<br />

Admission is limited and competitive. To be considered for admission, applicants<br />

should have an undergraduate degree. In special cases applicants without an<br />

undergraduate degree may be considered for admission based on pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

experience. Applicants will be assessed for admission to the MA in environmental<br />

policy based on their interests, their potential to produce meaningful research<br />

and the availability <strong>of</strong> supervisors in the area <strong>of</strong> the applicant’s interest. Deadline:<br />

Feb. 15 for fall semester, Aug. 15 for winter semester.<br />
