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 />

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 />

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 />

RESOURCE<br />
MANAGEMENT<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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