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 or a Minor in Canadian Studies.
The program forms the undergraduate division of the School of Canadian Studies and, like the graduate division of the School, it draws 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. At the same time, it provides the opportunity to study the relationships among various aspects of Canada in some depth.
In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p. 48), all Faculty regulations including those relating to First-Year Seminars and Breadth requirements (see p. 63), in addition to all Committee regulations and requirements as set out below.
