Bachelor of Arts - Canadian Studies

Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary program that spans Canadian culture and society past, present and future. It is the oldest and best-established undergraduate Canadian Studies program in Nova Scotia. Students will gain a greater understanding of the country, and its place in the international community. They will study Canadian values, politics, history, art, economics and literature, and explore and debate a variety of topics such as the art of the Group of Seven, First Nations Governance and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In addition, there are plenty of resources available to students outside of the classroom. They can have close contact with their professors, and are able to ask them for help and guidance. There is also the Canadian Studies Students Society, which brings former and current students together for events and activities.

Students will be inspired to participate in shaping the future of Canada. They'll have a wide range of career options to choose from, including: teaching, journalism, foreign affairs, library science, social activism, law, public administration, politics, cultural arts coordination, public relations and business.
