In the School of Liberal Arts, students experience the diversity of
George Brown College. Critical thinking skills are developed using various
formats including lectures, seminars, placements and online learning. Students
from all areas of the college take courses at the School of Liberal Arts, so
students are exposed to a wide network of people who will go on to become
significant business and social contacts. The Liberal Arts faculty is comprised
of a combination of industry professionals and full-time academics. A range of
dynamic speakers add to the classroom experience. Some of our previous speakers
have included the college’s PEN writer in residence, a union organizer, an
Aboriginal Elder, and a women’s rights champion among others.
