General Information

The undergraduate program in Canadian Studies offers students a broad, interdisciplinary view of Canada while at the same time allowing them to pursue disciplinary training in other departments within the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences or Public Affairs and Management if they so desire. Canadian Studies offers Combined B.A. (Honours) and B.A. programs and Minors in Aboriginal Studies and Canadian Studies.

The undergraduate offerings of the School of Canadian Studies, like the graduate program of the School, draw on a wide range of experts on Canada found throughout the University. It also benefits from Carleton University's situation in Canada's capital and the richness of material available in Ottawa for such studies.

The core program focuses on the creative tensions of diversity, encouraging a broad understanding of Canadian history, culture and society. In particular, the program emphasizes three thematic areas: Identities; Aboriginal Studies; and Policy, Economy and Society. At the same time, it provides the opportunity to study the relationships among various aspects of Canada in some depth.
