About Canadian Studies
About Canadian Studies
Canadian Studies provides students with a broad multidisciplinary view of the nature and development of Canada. Our programs -- including Minor, Major, Honours, and Joint Honours -- are designed to encourage bilingualism, interdisciplinarity, and critical engagement. Our graduates go on to careers in the arts, government, the media, education, law, business, social service, and the university.
Students completing a Major Concentration in Canadian Studies are encouraged to complete a second Major Concentration in another discipline. The Minor Concentration may be taken in conjunction with any primary program in Arts or Science.
Students interested in pursuing Canadian Studies at the graduate level should consider the Joint Honours Concentration with a Canadian Studies Component or the Honours Concentration.
