2019-2020 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 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 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 offer a combined major program.

Together with the requirements for a combined major BA (Honours) in Canadian Studies, students may choose to fulfill the requirements for a Concentration in Canadian Cultural Texts and Practices, a Concentration in Canadian Society and Politics or a Concentration in Politics and Francophone Canada: Language and Culture. These Concentrations allow students to develop a distinct emphasis on either Humanities or Social Sciences approaches to the study of Canada.
