The College of the Humanities administers two degree programs, a Bachelor of Humanities (see below) and a Bachelor of Arts in Classics, Religion, and Humanities.

 

General Information: Bachelor of Humanities

This program offers a challenging inter-disciplinary study of the humanities. At the heart of the Bachelor of Humanities is a core curriculum whose purpose is to provide students with a comprehensive, challenging, and common educational experience that is focused on humanity's record of outstanding achievement. The program's unique features include core seminars in which all members of the College participate, a number of designated courses across a range of disciplines, the choice of four concentrations (Liberal Arts, History, Philosophy, and English Literature), as well as a collegial atmosphere to supplement formal course work. Graduates of the program will receive the degree of Bachelor of Humanities (Honours). They will have acquired a rigorous education in the liberal arts and an understanding of important cultural and political accomplishments of the past. They will have developed well-honed skills of thoughtful reflection, conversation, written composition, and informed criticism, as well as significant proficiency in another language.

The College offers a four-year (Honours) program, consisting of 20.0 credits. Students will participate in a common academic enterprise by being members of a core seminar in each of their four years. These core seminars are central to the coherence of the curriculum and to the purposes of the program. In addition, the curriculum is based on a number of designated courses permitting an introduction to key events, texts, works, and commentaries in philosophy, literature, history, art and music, science, classical civilization, anthropology, religion, politics, and economics.

Honours Program

The College of the Humanities offers a carefully coordinated four-year program in the liberal arts, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Humanities (Honours). The degree program comprises four Humanities Seminars and courses in Philosophy, Literature, History, Languages, and related disciplines.

Program Requirements

The Bachelor of Humanities degree requires presentation of 20.0 credits.

Courses are taken in one of four concentrations: Liberal Arts, Philosophy, English Literature, and History. Four Humanities Seminars (Humanities 02.100, Humanities 02.200, Humanities 02.300, and Humanities 02.400) are common to all four concentrations. In addition, students must successfully complete an intermediate language credit specified by the College in consultation with the appropriate department.

The Humanities Seminars

The Humanities Seminars constitute a four-stage program of study that leads students from a consideration of fundamental elements of human consciousness Myth and Symbol (Humanities 02.100) into a sequential examination of important themes in the major epochs in western civilization:, Antiquity to the Middle Ages (Humanities 02.200), Renaissance to Romanticism (Humanities 02.300), Napoleonic Empire to the Present (Humanities 02.400). The seminars are defined under the categories "Myth and Symbol," "Reason and Revelation," "Culture and Imagination," "Science, Language, and Power." Disciplinary perspective and thematic emphasis shift from one seminar to another. Humanities 02.100 concentrates primarily on religion and mythology, Humanities 02.200 on philosophy, Humanities 02.300 on literature and the fine arts, and Humanities 02.400 on historical consciousness. Each seminar consists of three hours of lectures and two hours of tutorials each week and entails study of a select number of primary texts and works (for example, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Plato's Republic, St. Augustine's City of God, the Koran, Dante's Divine Comedy, Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne, Shakespeare's King Lear, Mozart's The Magic Flute, Rousseau's Emile, Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Marx's Communist Manifesto, Thomas Mann's Doktor Faustus, Margaret Laurence's The Diviners) and an examination of important secondary works (such as George Grant's Lament for a Nation, Harold Innis's Empire and Communications).

Program Concentrations

Upon entering the program, candidates for the Bachelor of Humanities degree choose one of four concentrations of courses as their program of study.

The Liberal Arts Concentration (Option One) is designed for students who wish to receive a comprehensive education in the humanities. The remaining three concentrations are designed for students who wish to receive a balanced background in the humanities with a higher degree of specialization in one discipline. These three concentrations, in most cases constituting the equivalent of a combined Honours degree in the chosen discipline, will prepare students for admission to graduate studies in that discipline. Each Concentration comprises the Humanities Seminars and 16.0 additional prescribed credits. In the Second, Third, and Fourth years, students will have the choice of one elective credit (except that in the fourth year of the History Concentration, the elective will be replaced by an additional fourth-year History seminar). Under certain circumstances, and with the permission of the College Academic Adviser, students may offer a maximum of 2.0 credits in performance as their elective credits. Please note that these credits may not be transferred if students transfer to other programs.

In consultation with the College Academic Adviser, students may elect to pursue a concentration in French. The number of credits obtained in French is the same as that which is normally attained in a combined honours program.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program is by demonstrated scholarly achievement and potential. In addition to applying to Carleton University through the Ontario Universities Application Centre, prospective students must submit a portfolio consisting of a) a one-page statement of why they wish to enter the program, b) a 750-word essay based on reflections on the theme or book chosen each year by the College, and c) if desired, two or three samples of additional creative work. The portfolio should be submitted to the College of Humanities, Carleton University by April 1. Students wishing to enter the program normally must have the OSSD, or the equivalent, including six OACs (or their equivalent), with an overall average of 80 percent or better. Since program enrolment is limited, satisfying the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. At the discretion of the College's Committee on Admissions, students who do not meet the 80 percent average may nonetheless be admitted to the program if their portfolio is deemed outstanding.

Advanced Standing and Transfer of Credits

Applications for admission with advanced standing to the program leading to the Bachelor of Humanities degree will be evaluated individually. Advanced standing will be granted only for those courses that are determined to be appropriate for the Bachelor of Humanities program. On admission to the Bachelor of Humanities program, students will not receive credit for courses graded below C-.

Academic Standing and Continuation in the Program

Students are considered to be in good standing if they meet the following criteria:

1. a cumulative GPA of 7.0;

2. a cumulative GPA of 7.0 or better in the core seminars (02.100, 02.200, 02.300, 02.400);

3. a minimum of 4.0 credits must normally be completed by the end of the academic year, i.e. at the end of the summer session. The College may permit students to study abroad for a year while remaining registered in the program. For those students permitted to study abroad, Carleton credits commensurate to studies taken abroad will be determined by the College and awarded towards the student’s degree. In exceptional circumstances (usually financial need or sickness) the College may also permit students to take a year off while remaining registered in the program.

The Bachelor of Humanities’ GPA is calculated using procedures established by the Division of Arts and Social Sciences (See Academic Regulations, Section 4.3). The Bachelor of Humanities’ GPA shall be calculated over all successfully completed, graded courses used to meet the minimum requirements specified for the degree program. Bachelor of Humanities credits beyond the specified minimum will not be used in the calculation of the Humanities’ GPA.

Graduation Requirements

In order to fulfill the minimum graduation requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Humanities, a candidate must have met all the program requirements for the First to Fourth years, inclusive, with a cumulative GPA of 7.0 or better. In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations  in addition to all program regulations.
