2008-2009 Undergraduate Calendar

Students take required interdisciplinary Canadian Studies (CANA) courses along with a number of Canada-centred courses offered by other departments emphasizing the unique nature of the Canadian experience, and upon the value and practice of combining disciplinary approaches in the study of culture and society.

CANA core courses offered in years 1, 2 and 3 are designed to introduce students to interdisciplinary studies in a progressive manner. The year 1 course is taught by one instructor and examines the development of Canadian culture from the perspectives of disciplines within the Humanities. Year 2 and 3 courses are interdisciplinary courses which combine Humanities and Social Science perspectives on a particular topic or issue related to the study and understanding of Canada.

The Centre for Canadian Studies offers combined major programs leading to a BA (Honours or Pass) and a Minor for students in other disciplines. Canadian Studies core courses may also be taken as electives by students in other degree programs. Canadian Studies may be combined with any other discipline or program in the Humanities or Social Sciences which offers a combined major program.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Students in the Centre for Canadian Studies are required to complete one credit in French.

Program Notes

6.	To encourage interdisciplinary study, CANA credits must be chosen from approved courses outside the student's co-major.
