The Canadian Studies program offers an introduction to Canadian literature, the arts, politics and society. It is designed for those who might wish to pursue careers in government, law, education, communications or in other areas where a thorough knowledge of Canada is necessary. The program is interdisciplinary, which allows students to benefit from exposure to faculty members and ideas and developments from different fields.

First year students in Canadian Studies are encouraged to explore courses in a variety of areas. It is recommended that a first year program include: General Studies 201, Canadian Studies 201 and at least an additional 1.5 full-course equivalents from the Faculty of Arts. Degree programs in Canadian Studies include optional senior-level courses offered by various Departments. It is therefore useful to take first year courses from a variety of related areas such as history and political science.

Students seeking advice on first year course selection may contact the Interdisciplinary Advisor or the Student Success Centre.
